Joe, Here is a simplified recursive version of your above statement. <?php $dir = '.'; function displayDir($dir='.') {

       $show = FALSE;
       $results = glob($dir.'/*');

Excellent, Jim. Thanks very much for your help. At the risk of straying too far from the original subject/call-for-help, is there a way to flag the *first* time the function runs through a <ul> creation? Though my design doesn't call for it now, I could see the value of styling the first level separately than the sub-directories. Hi,

This one makes use of the SPL and can handle a filter. Maybe not the cleanest way, but good enough for me. function DirectoryIterator($path, $filter = FALSE) { $files = new RecursiveDirectoryIterator($path); foreach($files as $file) {

       if ($filter !== FALSE) {

           if (array_search($file->getFileName(), $filter) !== FALSE) {

               continue;
           }
       }

       if ($file->isDir()) {

           $name = $file->__toString();

           echo str_replace(chr(92), chr(92).chr(92), $name).chr(92).chr(92)."\n";
                     DirectoryIterator($name, $filter);
       }

} } $path = 'C:\\projects\\sites\\www.example.com\\'; DirectoryIterator($path, array('.svn'));
