Hi,
I have got a directory on our domain. The directory contains pictures only. I want that if somebody type in the address of this directory, he should get a page with links to all the pictures. I don't want to keep on changing the source code with the links because the pictures in the directory keep getting added, deleted or changed. So putting a new link every time a new picture is added is an extra job. Is it possible with HTML, or PHP? Because these are the only two languages where I can do something. Many Thanks in Advance
Linux is basically a very simple Operating System, but you have to be a genius to understand its simplicity. http://www.cyberscout.net/

Yes, you can do it with PHP, but a simpler solution is to allow "file browsing" in the server settings. Then any folder where there is not a default file (such as index.htm" will be displayed exactly as you described.

"File browsing" is dangerous because it allows everything to be downloaded from the folder of choice.
better solution will be to setup a free php script for image upload and management.
just goto hotscripts and download a script of your choice.
