I think you read that question wrong, or else I am. :-) Try the second user note on this page: http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.filesystem.php Hope that helps. Chris

I think you read it right, and I (along with the other poster) read it wrong. I first thought he wanted to execute ls without using php's exec function...but rereading it, I don't think he was looking for my response.

That's what I wanted, (he wanted to execute ls without using php's exec function). So Glob is the function I was looking for, unfortunatly it has been available only since the 4.3.0 ! Anyway, if there is a wish, there is a way ;) Thanks.
