Automatically create hyperlinks of all files in a folder
I have a lot of PDF’s and I want to automatically link to them from a webpage. Does anyone know a quick way to automatically create hyperlinks on a webpage from the folder (full of PDF’s).

This is how you do it in ASP. Of course you change the path in the fs.GetFolder to reflect the folder you want to use:
--- Example start ---
<html><head><title>PDF List</title></head>
<body>
<%
dim fs,fo,x
set fs=Server.CreateObject("Sc
set fo=fs.GetFolder("c:\")
for each x in fo.files
'Print the name and size of all files in the test folder
Response.write(x.Name & " (" & CLng(x.Size / 1024) & "kb) <br />")
next
set fo=nothing
set fs=nothing
%>
</body>
</html>
--- Example end ---

Alternatively, allow directory browsing in IIS or turn Indexing on in Apache.
This will automatically display a list of documents.

Thanks for all the info. The PHP code works pretty well but it was looking in the root for the links not the folder. Easy fix.
Did you see this comment?
"// change the path_to_pdf_dir to your directory..."
"// change the path_to_pdf_dir to your directory..."
document.write("Contents of " + getCurrentFolder());
fileName = findFirstFile("*.pdf");
while(fileName.length)
{
document.write("<a href=" + fileName + ">" + fileName + "</a>");
fileName = findNextFile();
}
