OK thanks.
FYI I have a similar list script i have been using for a while but
would like to replace this will a search instead of a full listing.
i.e. - search for file xxxx rather than going through the list to see if
it is present.

<?php
$path = "/usr/local/apache/share/default/";
$dir_handle = @opendir($path) or die("Unable to open $path");
while ($file = readdir($dir_handle)) {
if($file == "." || $file == ".." || $file == "index.php" )
continue;
echo "<a href=\"$file\">$file</a><br />";
}
// Close
closedir($dir_handle);
?>

Any suggestions how to do this or point me in the right direction?.
