Directory-View with PHP

[Tobias Wendorff]

Hi there,

I've programmed an access-control via header()-function. It
checks an username and password in database ... nothing special.

Currently, the control gives access to a download, but I would
like to allow special users to view the complete directory.

AFAIK this is only possibly through ".htaccess" (Apache webserver).
But then, I need to create an entry for each user in the database
in the file :-(

Would it be possible to allow this direclty through PHP?
Of course, I could write dynamically into htaccess, but if
several users would access the file at the same time ... URGHS :-)

Thanks for help,
Tobias

Just get the directory listing in PHP and display it. No need to do
anything with .htaccess.
