I´m looking to create links from files stored in a folder (a function that takes the file names and create the links list at the page) using html, without making the links 1 at the time... I hope I make my point English is not my mother language…

Thanks

I do not think this is possible with just HTML unless you use iFrame. HTML is just mark-up language used primarily for front-end. You can accomplish this using php with the code below (adopted from xFunda). You might not want to use tables. Or you can download the Directory Indexer by CeleronDude.

CODE

<?php
/*
function that reads directory content and
returns the result as links to every file in the directory
also it disply type wheather its a file or directory
*/
function DirDisply() {

$TrackDir=opendir(".");

while ($file = readdir($TrackDir)) {

if ($file == "." || $file == "..") { }
else {
print "<tr><td><a href=$file target=_blank>$file</a> </td>";
print "<td> ".filetype($file)."</td></tr> ";

}
}
closedir($TrackDir);
return;
}

?> Current Directory Contain
Following files and Sub Directories...

<?php
@ DirDisply();
?>

For this line here:

CODE

if ($file == "." || $file == "..") { }

Would it not be better to use a if not statement ?

Yes it is, but this is just a simple script to load from the current directory. Didn't do a review on this before posting.

<?php

if ($handle = opendir('/path/to/files')) {
echo "Directory handle: $handle\n";
echo "Files:\n";

/* This is the correct way to loop over the directory. */
while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle))) {
echo "$file\n";
}
int count=0;
/* This is the WRONG way to loop over the directory. */
while ($file = readdir($handle)) {
count++;
}

closedir($handle);
}
?>

It will read your all file create link on all these files.
