reading files instead of using tables

Hi, I seem to be having some problem with the general php list, so I'm sending this question here - please do not get annoyed :-) I want to read a directory and count all the files in it so that i can store each file name into an array... please help.. I want to list the images in a dir this way instead of storing the info in the tables.. thanks. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Cal Evans" <cal@calevans.com> To: <php-db@lists.php.net> Sent: Sunday, January 07, 2001 7:25 PM Subject: RE: [PHP-DB] refresh for php/mysql chat > Internet.com did a paper a while back on writing "pushlets" in JavaScript > that allowed constant, 2-way communication between a web server and a web > page.
