Convert string into url's

[joris]

I'm veryvery new to PHP, so maybe I'm asking a question that may look very obvious........but nevertheless

I have a string which represents a directory structure like this:
fold1/fold2/fold3/fold4

This string is shown in a webpage

Is it possible to convert this string into seperate url's so that when I click on a specific part of the string it will take me to that directory.

In my example the links would lead to:

fold1: fold1
fold2: fold1/fold2
fold3: fold1/fold2/fold3
fold4: fold1/fold2/fold3/fold4

Regards,
Joris

I'm a newbie like you too and joined the thread to see the answers ( nothing yet! ). But just as a quick note, are you trying to open a directory on your server or you're trying to simulate a directory structure in your script ( like this forum for example)?

Something like this maybe:

$dirs = "fold1/fold2/fold3/fold4";
$dirs_array = explode("/", $dirs);
for($i = 0; $dirs_array[$i] != ""; $i++) {
	$path = "";
	for($c = 0; $c <= $i; $c++) {
		$path = $path . $dirs_array[$c] . "/";
	}
	$links = $links . "<a href=\"http://domain.com/$path\">$dirs_array[$i]/</a>\n";
}
echo("$links");

Thanx very much!
I've tried it and it works great.
I managed to formulate what the routine had to do, knowing other programming languages, but I couldn't translate it to a PHP syntax.

Thanx again.
