    <p>The Apache module <a href="http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/mod_autoindex.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">mod_autoindex</a> generates "directory indexes" that show users a crude hyperlinked list of the files and directories inside a directory (when there is no index.html or other <a href="http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/mod_dir.html#directoryindex" rel="nofollow noreferrer">DirectoryIndex</a> file).</p> <p>I have a directory on an Apache webserver where I want to provide an automatic directory listing, including the full filenames, sorted most-recently-modified-first, with file sizes displayed, using simple and attractive presentation. I cannot use mod_autoindex or other Apache features.</p> <p>I am therefore looking for a simple script that does much the same thing as mod_autoindex. In other words I want a script I can put in a directory that outputs an HTML document to STDOUT that contains a hyperlinked list of the files in the directory.</p> <p>The script should present its output in a simple &amp; attractive way (non-technical people will be using it), consist of one file that I can edit if required, and preferably be OS-independent (so I can use it again later). Extra features would be great, but ease of install is all-important (though I am happy to tweak the code if I have to).</p> <p>My preference is for a perl script (i.e. an index.pl file), but PHP would be acceptable (index.php). Those are the only DirectoryIndex options on the server. </p> <p><strong>Update</strong></p> <p>I have decided to use <a href="http://www.bitfolge.de/snif-en.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">snif</a> in preference to <a href="http://autoindex.sourceforge.net/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">AutoIndex</a> to solve the current problem, but I am still interested in finding a perl implementation, so if you know of one please post it. Thanks.</p>

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.
