I'm trying to find a way to count the number of files in a directory and display their filenames. So far I've only been able to find a way to count the number of files in the directory containing the php file, but that's not what I want...
Any help would be greatly appreciated, and the simpler the script needed the better.

FTP functions prove really useful here. The example on the site shows how to get the contents of the directory the file is in, to let the file be able to have a directory specified you must use something like this:

<?php

$dir_name = "your directory path on the server";

$conn_id = ftp_connect($ftp_server);
$login_result = ftp_login($conn_id, $ftp_user_name, $ftp_user_pass);
$contents = ftp_nlist($conn_id, $dir_name);

var_dump($contents);

?>

Thank you, but now it just shows up as 'NULL'... =/

opendir or open_dir is going to be your friend.

Thank you very much Mastermind!
I got it working amazingly well like so:

 <?php
    if (is_dir($dir)) {
   	 $dh = opendir($dir);
   	 if($dh = opendir($dir)){
      while (($file = readdir($dh)) !== false ) {
     	 $dot = explode('.',$file);
     	 if(is_dir($file) | count($dot)!=2 ){
        $type = 'Directory';}
        else{
        $type = 'File';
     	 echo '<div id="file">' . $file . '<br><div id="download"><a href="?file=' . $file . '">Download</a></div></div><br>';
     	 }
      }
   	 }
   	 closedir($dh);
    }
    else {
    echo 'Directory does not exist';
    }
 	 ?>
  </div>

Which then links it to the code that I got help with before. I am exceptionally pleased.

Go to http://www.d2kstudio...m/downloads.php to see the fruits of my labour. I use the code in this page and my previous post in this forum, as well as a lot extra for displaying categories, and counting files. And its purty too. (At least in Firefox)
