Hi, I'm looking for a file directory catalog written in PHP/Perl that functions similarly to the WWIV BBS (by Wayne Bell) from a few years ago. You basically place all your files in subdirectories from the catalog root and the script generates an online file catalog for you. It would extract the file size, image dimensions if it is a graphic, and even extract the file_id.diz or readme.txt from the zip file as the "description" for the file.

Is there such a thing?

A definitive answer would be best as opposed to a "try a search on google" or "check the CGI script depositories".

Thanks.

Yes, there is such a thing!

To locate it, "try a search on google" or "check the CGI script depositories".

;) ;) ;)

Sorry, but I couldnīt resist. If you want to set constraints on the answers you want, you need to set them real tight. Donīt open yourself up to stupid ones like mine.

Doesn't sound like it would be too hard to write, but I don't know off the top of my head that anyone has *already* done it.

A few scripts off hotscripts.com that sounded promising. The only one that came close was PHP Traverser. It reads a default file for directory description but not individual files. I might look into a Windows disk catalog program that can export the data into CSV. Then I can run a macro against it to build the page for me. Thanks... :)
