List directory contents as HTML

<?php
# Directory Index (dirindex.php)

# Reads the current directory's content and displays it as
# HTML.  Useful if file listing is denied by the web server
# configuration.

# Installation:
# - Put in any directory you like on your PHP-capable webspace.
# - Rename to 'index.php' if you like it to get called if no
#   file is specified in the URL (e.g. www.example.com/files/).
# - Fit the design to your needs just using HTML and CSS.

# Configuration
$show_path = 1;   # Show local path.
$show_dotdirs = 1;   # Show '.' and '..'.

$path = substr($_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME'], 0,
    strrpos($_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME'], '/') + 1);
