PHP Directory Listing Script
Back in 2008 we created the original version of our popular directory listing script. Since then we’ve released three new versions, addressing a number of known issues. In 2015 we completely rebuilt the script from scratch, introducing some handy new features and improvements.
The PHP Directory Listing Script is a highly configurable script, allowing you to simply upload one file into a web-accessible directory, and it’ll be turned into a well formatted, mobile friendly directory browser.
With the release of version 4, we’ve got some great new features, including:
Full mobile browser support.
The ability to upload multiple files and restrict the allowed file-types.
Support for restricting access to the script by either password or IP Address whitelisting (ideal if you want only yourself and clients to have access!).
Support for creating new directories and sub-directories.
Upload zip files and extract them automatically, with the option to delete the zip file after it’s been extracted.
Optionally hide certain file types, names or extensions, as well as directories.
Sort file listings by name, size or last modified date.
Finally, the last feature is that the Directory Listing Script now runs as a single file, weighing in at less than 400kb. This means the script runs faster, and is extremely easy to use!
All of the new features can be enabled and disabled individually, so whether you’re looking for a full file manager, or a simple list of downloads, the PHP Directory Listing script has you covered.
