html sources? post the code snippet on how you read the d:... directory.
I use something like this which creates a dropdown list of files in a
specific directory not under the htdocs directory structure:
echo "<form method=post action=mydosomething.php>";
echo "<br><tr><select name=dlfile>";
if ($mydir = [at] opendir("/my/dir/path"))
{
while($filename = readdir($mydir))
// if (eregi("^a_+[A-Za-z0-9_]+\.jpg", $filename))
echo "<option
value=$filename>$filename</option><br>";
}
closedir($mydir);
echo "</select><br><p>";
this submits to another php script that performs a specific tasks when
selecting a filename.
Remember that the web server will need read and/or write privs depending
on what you are doing with this. I would in no way make this executable
by the web server. Some OS's allow for explicitly being able to
disable executable while enabling read/write.
