Yes, PHP has file handling functions for use on the server it is running on. As long as we're clear that it can't touch the filesystem of the user of the application :D If you just wanted to make a list of folders and let them select one you could build the list using an HTML SELECT box. Once they have selected an item and click on submit, you would use similar code that you used to populate your directory list to show a list of all files in that directory. The code at Example 2 on the php.net readdir documentation is probably one good place to start: http://www.php.net/readdir A hint from another thread today to save yourself trouble: Always use full paths when working with files.
