What is the function to....

[Napster]

What is the php function to get all of the files in a directory and then use a while loop to display the names of the files. For example, lets say I have a directory called images which is located in the root directory so it would be /images And inside that directory are three files like a.gif, b.jpg and c.png. I want to be able to be able to get all the file names in /images and display them so it would show up like:

a.gif
b.jpg
c.png

Thank you in advanced

{
	if($file != '.' && $file != '..')
    {
            echo $file , "<BR>";
    }
}

<?
// The snippet of code earlier that allows you to delete all files older than 2 weeks uses the function (filemtime) - which checks the original create date of the file (filesystem independent). You MAY want to use filectime() - that looks at when the file was last changed on YOUR file system.
$path = "MyImages/";
if (is_dir("$path") )
{ echo "Have the dir";
$handle=opendir($path);
echo "handle=" . $handle;
while (false!==($file = readdir($handle))) {
echo "<br>File=" . $file;
if ($file != "." && $file != "..") {
echo "Have a valid file"; //filectime or a
$Diff = (time() - filemtime("$path/$file"))/60/60/24;
echo "Diff=" . $Diff;
if ($Diff > 2) unlink("$path/$file");

           } 
       }
       closedir($handle); 
   } 
   ?>:D
