Re: a Directory Crawler

ooops, you need to change the "$this->recurseDirectory(getcwd().'/'.$file, getcwd(), $files)" to just plain "recurseDirectory(getcwd().'/'.$file, getcwd(), $files)" from inside the function if you're not planning on using this function from within a class... sorry about that only spotted it after I posted.
