ok you know how directories in websites (such as www.th3rmal.com/nothing ) are automatically updated when you upload something?

how would i do that, except with an index page, so like i want www.th3rmal.com/myschool automatically updated, which it doesnt atm...

using PHP

code:

---

function dirList ($directory)
{

    // create an array to hold directory list
    $results = array();

    // create a handler for the directory
    $handler = opendir($directory);

    // keep going until all files in directory have been read
    while ($file = readdir($handler)) {

        // if $file isn't this directory or its parent,
        // add it to the results array
        if ($file != '.' && $file != '..')
            $results[] = $file;
    }

    // tidy up: close the handler
    closedir($handler);

    // done!
    return $results;

}

will return an array in which you would have to loop through the items and echo/print them

Why don't you use an Apache module called mod_autoindex? Have a look at this tutorial

Atm, rofl just helped me with the php, but ill also check out the Apache one as well

I'm currently using this php script on http://spunkylovemuff.co.uk and it's pretty cool, easy to customize, allows for file uploads, hidden folder and custom file type images and thumbnails of image files.
