Listing files from URL's Direcory. SOS...

[AlexP]

Is it possible to list files in a directory from URLS ?

e.g to list the files that exist in:

www.url/files/

Any guides or commands?

Thanks

Use [man]fopen/man to read the index page for the directory and then use regular expressions to find the data you want.

Thank you. Is it the only way I can do it?

Not so easy when regular expressions come to mind!!!

Also directory includes "index.php".....

Any more ideas somebody???

Thanks

Do you realize the security implications of what your asking? If anybody was able to just scan directories through a URL, no webserver would be safe. So, no, there's really no way to do this through a regular http protocol. Now PHP 5 is adding support to use opendir through an ftp wrapper, but that's about as close as you can get.
