How would I list every thing in a folder for a web site ?

[AFB]

Any free scripts ?

and make them into links ?

google it....or write it yourself...i believe you could even use recursion to get subdirs, PHP may have a funstion to output what you need. Look at the PHP homepage.

Don't put an index.* file in the folder, and your webserver will do it for you (if you have that option turned on... I did before I started working on a site once and someone told me that's dangerous... not sure why)

Can't with 1&1.

Make a .htaccess file and put in Options +indexes I believe

U cant do it with 1&1 through the htaccess. What i did is use a php script that does it, and made it an index page in every directory.

<?php
$imgDir = opendir("/homepages/32/blahblah/htdocs/files/");
echo " <center><strong>Contents of the directory
</center></strong>";
while($imgName = readdir($imgDir))
{
if ((($imgName != ".") || ($imgName != "..")) && (strcmp(substr($imgName, -4), ".php"))) //Displays all pages but php
print("<A HREF=\"$imgName\">$imgName</A>
\n");
}
?>

1and1 sucks.

You get what you (didn't) pay for.

Other than the crappy control panel, what's so bad about 1and1?

1 database, with a crappy naming convention.

Slow control panel.

Dated PHP (4.2.3).

The main redeeming quality was 3 free years of 5GB/mo bandwidth.
