Help on creating download pages automatically

[Blade328]

Hi people....

Need some help if possible & hopefully I have posted this thread in the right
place!!

Say I upload 50 files to my website in the first instance with a view to
uploading more files in the near future;

Once they are there, I want to make them available for downloading. I do not
want to do this manually. What I would like to happen is this;

'Download' directory is scanned (and fifty files found); download pages are
created automatically, each displaying 5 files listed in alpha-numeric order;

I would also want a next and previous button arrangement for navigating
through the pages. When I upload more files, I would like the same 'code' to
add more pages as required.

Is it also possible to display the total number of pages of downloads
available or possibly displaying all the page numbers at the bottom of the page
as links?

I would also want the download pages to be displayed in a particular frame on
my web page.

Any help would be welcome on this as I have not got a clue how to start and
what code to use. Are there generic scripts available to do this type of thing?

Thanks in advance :)

Aye, it's relatively straightfoward using PHP's filesystem functions. I
imagine other server-side languages have similar functionality. You can't do
it with client side scripting such as JavaScript.

I suggest taking a look at [url]www.php.net[/url] for more info.

No probs. It's difficult to give specifics, as no doubt your specific
application will throw up specific problems and needs.
