A bit of help here please.

I'm looking for a script to put on a webpage that works like an explorer(not the internet explorer).

It should read a folders contents and write it as links on a webpage, if it is a folder and not a file, it should open the folder and read it's contents instead.

An easy way to get away from constantly updating a page if you have like a lot of pages and you're having a linklist...

Anyone know of such a script?

Well you can have a server automatically make a page from a directorys contents in list form but you would need to be server admin to set it up, its not a script. As far as conveiniance I would say use a server side langage and a data base to control your pages because it would mean less work if the server outputs your code. For example making a server side file upload form would be one way to do it because after the file is uploaded its path can be added to the data base or the file can be added to the data base and then the page that displays the data would already have it on there and you would not need to upload it. In lamens terms because what I just said was probably confusing, talk to your server admin about directories and if you can't get something setup pick up a book on ASP ASP.NET PHP CGI or JSP depending on what your server supports.
