Is there a way to scan file names on a hard drive through a webpage and then store those file names in a mysql database?
On the same server that the script is running on, yes.
ok, so there is no way to remotly do this at all? I mean if you go to say - symantecs website they have a tool that scans the hard drive so I know thats possible. But i doubt that puts anything in a database.
It's possible. Just not with php.
Ok, so how could you do it if the server was locally.
[man]opendir[/man] and [man]readdir[/man]. [man]scandir[/man] if using php5.
ok, thanks.
