Reading file names from a folder

Mar 15th, 2006

Hi,
I have a bunch of uploaded files in a folder. Now I want to be able to get the names of these files that are stored in the folder using PHP so that can I create direct links to each file from my page. ie can PHP read the names of files from a folder?

Thanks,
Sean
