You dont really say what you want the finished screen to look like .

If your intention is to upload a mov or gif file and have it
automatically show up in the listing - then yes it can be done .

Apply a little bit of logic and decide what you need to get started .

In your case it would be a loop that display the contents of a folder to
the screen as a folder/directory listing .

You can find a basic folder loop on www.phpemail.co.uk

Once you get the loop working then the first job would be to make
clickable nav links from the folder listing .

$poo = a filename

<a href="<?php print $poo; ?>"><?php print $poo; ?></a>

After that the next thing would be to write some code that allows you to
navigate through the folders .

Write it in such a way its like a nav bar running down the left had side
of the screen .

End result , You have something that works & perhaps more importantly
have something to work on and add too .
