hey this is what i have so far...

$dir = ".";
if (is_dir($dir)) {
   if ($dh = opendir($dir)) {
       while (($file = readdir($dh)) !== false) {
          if (is_dir($file) == false) {
            if (substr($file, -3) == mrc) {
              print("<tr>\n");
              print("<td><A HREF=\"Tester.php?filename=$file\">$file</A><BR></td>\n");
              print("</tr>\n");
        }
          if (substr($file, -3) == ssa) {
             print("<tr>\n");
             print("<td><A HREF=\"Tester.php?filename=$file\">$file</A><BR></td>\n");
             print("</tr>\n");
        }
          if (substr($file, -3) == ass) {
             print("<tr>\n");
             print("<td><A HREF=\"Tester.php?filename=$file\">$file</A><BR></td>\n");
             print("</tr>\n");
           }
        }
      }
       closedir($dh);
  }
}

how would i include the get part your talking about?
also how do i join strings togather
for example in VB i use "h" & "h" to get hh
what is it in php?

and i found when i tryed using...

(Toggle Plain Text)

if (substr($file, -3) == ssa) || (substr($file, -3) == mrc) {

it didn't work
any ideas?

thanks for your help
^_^

is that file Tester.php? the GET request is the action of sticking a variable name behind the URL. so Testing.php?filename=$file, here ?filename=$file is the GET request, you can define multiple by by apostrophes ex. ?filename=$file&id=$id now in PHP you can grab these variables using the $_GET[] array, you can get $file by calling $_GET['filename']; and $id by $_GET['id']; so in your case you're gonna want to do something like this.
[php]
<?
$filename = $_GET['filename'];
if($filehandle = fopen($filename, "r")) or die("could not open file\n");
$contents = fread($handle, filesize($filename));
fclose($filehandle);
echo "<form action=\"saveform.php\", method="post">\n";
echo "<textarea cols=6 rows=30 name=\"text\">\n";
echo $contents;
echo "</textarea>\n";
echo "<submit value=\"save\" type=\"submit\">\n;
echo "</form>\n";
[/php]
then in saveform.php you can process the data sent through the form. This time I'm using the POST request, which is similar to GET except that the text doesn't get shown in the URL, which makes it more secure. I'm not gonna write all of that out, but use http://php.net/fwrite to find some examples of how to do that, but the text should be stored in $_POST['text']; since it's a POST request.
good luck
lemme know if you're stuck.

ps. the code i wrote has not been tested, so i'm not responsible for bugs..

Great!!
got it working hah nice
thanks alot man ^_^

the only thing is the textbox always seems weird..
the lines dont always fit on. and i want it to be the like the background table.
because i want to color the text but i need it to look good

what could i do about this?
i think i need to do it loop and read each line so i can add it to the table

but..how?

thanks for the great help ^_^

edit:
i found how i can make the file loop through 1 line a time..
but when theres a space in the string
the word wraps round >_<
how can i fix this

edit2:
sorry im asking stupid questions
im tired >_<

but i got it working perfect now

thanks for your help ^_^
