Here is a tidbit for you… a quick fix that doesnt require php at all

Simply exclude an index file from the directory. Enable your server to render directories instead of failure to find/access default pages.

Voila. Same effect.

You have limited customizability depending on your access to the server configuration files

If you want to be able to download, upload, change files, etc on the servers directories via the internet, as well as have a full list of files, etc… written in php… and with limited customization…

Then has an excellent program for free download that I use. I have a slightly tweaked version though that I much prefer. If you want my version, let me know. It looks better but hasnt been cleared by the original program as “safe”, which is just a formality since I know exactly what I changed.

source forge is a great place for open source code. They have several very powerful file browsers that are very easy to install and allow great amounts of customization.
