Question 1
Now how do I test them online? Do I need webspace? a server? I'm completely new to it so I'm a little confused as to the best way to do this.
Question 2
I've written a script that lists all the files and directories in the directory that the script is being run from. I'm assuming that if this script is uploaded to a server it will list the files on the server. But what i want is to list all the hard drive directories and files on teh server side? I hope that makes sense.
Question 3
Can I see the hard drive files and directories of the server computer on the client side via a webpage?
Thx everybody.
Question 1:
If you want to run server side scripts, you need a server. Ideally would be to install a server (Apache), together with PHP and MySQL on your own PC. This set is sometimes referenced as WAMP (Windows Apache MySQL PHP). Some links / tutorials are:

If you setup your script correctly (e.g. possibility of specifying the start directory) you can do that.
Question 3:
Either with your directory program or via an FTP client.
