scanning for folders in php

[rjseals]

Hello,
I am a web administrator at a school district. We are offering teachers a way to have their own webpages. So for instance I have a school folder with an index.php that I want a listing of all of the teachers. I am going to create a folder with the user name of each teacher within the school folder.

IE

http://www.name.com/schools/index.php

(will list all of the teachers with a folder and homepage.

What I want to try to do is have php scan for the folders of the usernames and somehow automatically create hyperlinks or a drop down list of the usernames within the school folder.

So when they go to

http://www.name.com/schools/index.php

it will find all folders within the schools folder.

Can someone point me into the right direction on how to do this.

I want to do this so I will not have to maintain the index page if teachers leave or if some come.

Thanks for any help.

I recommend you read up on PHP's directory fuctions:

Pay particular attention to the example code posted with the manual page on opendir():
