Directory Browsing with IWP

[mhubley]

Hi,

I am using IWP with FM Pro Advanced 9, and have a custom home page that points to several databases. I would also like to have links on that page that point to large collections of images in various directories (that are not in the databases). I was hoping to simply allow directory browsing on the directories containing them. However, it seems directory browsing is turned off in the built-in IWP web server by default - is there any way to turn this on/configure it? Or would I have to move to the (very expensive) Server version to get this rather basic option? Alternatively I guess I could set up another web server on a different port that hosts the image directories, but that seems rather silly. Any help appreciated, thanks,

Because you are trying to accessing the directory from your custom built homepage.......You are at liberty to use any server side scripting language (i.e PHP) to traverse the directories. The problem arises once you enter the world of IWP, the CGI prohibits any additional scripting.

PHP has some very cool functions for accessing directories and files. I suggest you take a look at the PHP Website for more info.

I hope this was of some help in one way or the other.
