Change: if (is_dir($d) && $d != '.' && $d != '..') { To: if (is_dir($d) && !preg_match('/[\.\-]/',$d)) { Keep in mind, though, that the change will no longer show anything that matches the below either: example.directory example-directory special-images css.files In other words, you may instead want to explicitly state which directories to omit, and then drop anything that begins with a dot as well (hidden directories on *NIX-like boxes) like so: <?php $excludes[] = 'cgi-bin'; $excludes[] = 'vti_cnf'; $excludes[] = 'private'; $excludes[] = 'thumbnail'; $ls = scandir(dirname(__FILE__)); foreach ($ls as $d) { if (is_dir($d) && !preg_match('/^\./',basename($d)) && !in_array(basename($d),$excludes)) { echo '<li><a href="'.$d.'">'.$d.'</a><br/>'.PHP_EOL; } } ?> -- </Daniel P.
