PHP questions

greetings all,

Yes, I know, a stupid subject!!

Anyhow.. what is the best way to store a directory structure in?
I wish to do a recurise search in php and store the directory structure in a good way, that is also easy to extract the information from, so that I may display the directories on the page...

Furthermore, chars such as ' and 3 swedish chars always destroy my code when using following code to download:
<?
$file = &quot;<root>&quot;.$_GET['ul'];
header (&quot;Content-type: octet/stream&quot;
header (&quot;Content-disposition: attachment; filename=&quot;.basename($file).&quot;;&quot;
header(&quot;Content-Length: &quot;.filesize($file));
readfile($file);
exit;
?>
I know that ' is used for strings and such things.. but is there a way around this so that files containing ' chars WILL be displayed? and Is there another download-way to make it work? or a way to make my server/php compatible with the swedish language?

My codes look like something a kid wrote
I have absolutely no idea what I am talking about
Somehow I still manage to make it work

Wouldn't you store the directory structure in a multidimensional array?
You can have it be associative with keys named after the directory name.

You could also store the information in a thread like fashion, with id's and parentID where the tree can be assembled by nodes.
