Topic awaiting preservation: ermm retrieving folder contents i guess (Page 1 of 1)

hi. I know this will probably be really easily found and would come up top in a google search but to be honest i'm not really sure what i'm looking for.
I want to find the contents of a folder and then be able to put them into an array.
For example if i had a folder full of pictures i could pull them out the array and display them or the same thing maybe with a folder full of web pages and link them.
cheers

what language ?
In PHP, you'll have to use opendir(). Follow the sample code provided there.
