With some help from fellow members I wrote a script to read a directory, and make links from the files found there so I know all of this is possible. I would like to kick that up a notch and use it for another purpose. BAM! I won't post the current script because working from it might make the job more difficult than it needs to be. I would like the script to perform in the manner described below. If this is worth more than positive rep and eternal gratitude you may PM me with your offers. // read the current directory // for each directory in the current directory that is not an excluded directory (for example images) //get the name of the directory and the most recent file in that directory excluding the file index.php // strip any slashes, hypens or underscores from the displayed name but not from any hyperlinks created // strip the file extension from the filename // Echo to the screen in the following format where the filename and directory name are hyperlinks "The most recent files posted in" dirname1 filename dirname2 filename dirname3 filename for as many as there are; PHP: This should be a lot more fun than any old superbowl game.
