    <p>I have a php script that reads a directory and lists all the files/directories in link form, and it works, except I'm trying to get it to be recursive so that when I choose another directory it once again uses the script to display the files inside. Right now when I select a directory it just goes to the default apache listing....any help is appreciated.</p> <p>Script: </p> <pre><code> &lt;?php $dirname = '/drives/Storage/AppsOSs/'; $webdirname = '/AppsOSs'; // what the directory appears as from the web browser's point of view $dir = opendir($dirname); $file_list = ''; while(($file = readdir($dir)) != false) { if(($file != '.') &amp;&amp; ($file != '..')) { $file_list .= "&lt;a href=\"$webdirname/$file\"&gt;$file&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br/&gt;"; } } closedir($dir); ?&gt; &lt;p&gt; &lt;?=$file_list?&gt; &lt;/p&gt; </code></pre>

    1. COYou could use $dirname as $dirname = $_GET['dirname']; and $file_list as $file_list .= "<a href=\"?dirname=$webdirname/$file\">$file</a><br/>"; but this would bring you to a new level of problems such as people trying to send commands like "rm -rf *" to your $_GET and such so you would need to escape and sanitize all the incoming data so you don't run into problems but there is probably a better solution

    2. COhmm, yea i would rather not use GET, i try to stay away from that for the most part... The problem is when I click on a directory, right now its linking to the direct path, and since it is a directory, not a file it goes to the apache directory. What I basically want to do is have it only actually point to a direct path if the item is a file (that way it can be downloaded) but if its a directory, I really just want to retrieve the files/directories inside of that and list them similarly to how I do now w/ my script....I'm honestly not the best w/ php so I'm having a bit of trouble

    3. COJoe - there's no getting around using GET Unless you use POST - you have to update the script wit the new directory to traverse and display or you will continually get the Apache default directory because it's no longer pointed to the script but to the physical directory.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
