Just another newb here in need of a little help....and probably some
sleep as well ;) I'm just getting started with PHP reading all I can
get my hands on, on and off line. I have simple bit of code that
displays a list of mp3 files from a different directory from which the
script runs in.....

<table align=CENTER bgcolor=#ffffff cellpadding=4 cellspacing=0
border=2>
<tr><th>Song Title</th></tr>
<?php
$dir = "../songs/";

// Open a known directory, and proceed to read its contents
if (is_dir($dir)) {
if ($dh = opendir($dir)) {
while (($file = readdir($dh)) !== false) {
echo "<tr><td> <a href=\"$dir\">$file</a> "."</td></tr>";
}
closedir($dh);
}
}
?>

the display is fine, I'm just pulling my hair out trying to get the
link to the individual files set correctly, but alas everything I've
tried so far bombs out. I do not know how to add the file name along
with the directory in the href ;(
Can somebody set me straight please......? Then I'll go to bed ;) TIA
