Sure, here is the main function and the function that sends the
files/links to the browser. This works fine on two w2k machines, but not
on our XP machine. If I place the mouse pointer over the link on the web
page it shows correct in the IE status bar. Example:(
file:///c:/suncosys/act/2d/file_name.vc6 )

I have never got the links to work using Firefox. I am interested how
you made that work! I am running version 1.5 beta 1.

[snip]
/**********************************************************************
* main function
**********************************************************************/
<?php
$wd_path = $_GET['directory'];
if($wd_path == "") $wd_path = "c:/suncosys"; // default directory
if non passed
echo "<h2>".$wd_path."</h2>"; // display directory trail
query_dirs($wd_path); // this queries and displays the directories
echo "<hr>";
$file_array = query_files($wd_path); // queries the CAD files for
internal info name and desc.
asort($file_array); // sort array
reset($file_array); // reset array pointer
echo "<table cellpadding=\"2\" cellspacing=\"2\" border=\"2\">";
display_files($file_array);
echo "</table>";
?>
[/snip]

Following is the function that displays the files/links.

[snip]
/**********************************************************************
* pass an associated array of files and descriptions
**********************************************************************/
function display_files($file_array) {
// display files
while(list($files,$desc) = each($file_array)) {
$file_path = $files; // get the absolute path
$file_name = basename($file_path); // strip the file name
$file_type = strpos($file_name, ".vc6"); // test for correct file
extension
echo "<tr>"; // table row
if($file_type == True) {
echo "<td><img src=\"/icons/small/graphitelogo.gif\"
alt=\"[FILE]\">";
} else {
echo "<td><img src=\"/icons/small/unknown.gif\" alt=\"[FILE]\">";
}
echo "<a href=\"".$file_path."\">".$file_name."</a></td>";
if($file_type == True) {
echo "<td>".$desc."</td>";
}
echo "</tr>";
}
} // end of display_files function
