How do you create a file index Like This.
Might be Noob-ish, but I haven't a clue. Please help me... PM me or post on here if you are willing to help or have a/the simple way to do this.

do you mean like in PHP or something else?

if it's PHP go lookup readdir on php.net they have some good examples

Want to make sure you don't have an index file of any type. And allow directory viewing. Are you using CPanel or what?

To get a directory like that, you need to delete the index.html page (or rename) it. Then it should show all the files in the folder.

I though it depended on what server software your host uses? Because when I just surf to a folder with some files on my ISP's homepage space I get a 403 error.. (like this folder which contains some pictures: http://www.planet.nl/~blank454/other/)

I think all you have to do is type

Options and Indexes

in a text file save it as f.htaccess

upload it to the directory you want and rename it to .htaccess

[note you will have to change the name on upload as windows doesnt like no name files.]

in Apache servers, you can turn off directory listing, so it depends on that setting.  You can easily change it for each directory in cPanel

Which means your host doesn't allow .htaccess files
You could create your own index file, but you would end up editing it every time you change the dir's contents

I use that just by linking to a folder e.g. on my site for downloads i link to the soundpacks folder /soundpacks instead of /soundpacks/all your base.plp

Sorry if that did'nt make scence

If you want a more beautiful solution you can try this script:

*hint* use PHP, use the scandir/readdir call.

you wouldnt have to change nothing.

@ The Geek: very nice script

But for me it won't work cuz my ISP doesn't support php

---

I don't really need a new webhost, I was just wondering . I'm not the creator of this thread . Still.. thanks for your help!

The scripts pretty nice. But am I correct by saying if you delete the index.htm page, it shows the directory doesn't it?
