Get list of files in a specified folder on server

Hi All,

I'm new to PHP and am trying to get the file contents of a folder. I have
this code below but it is failing. Can a keen eye spot where I am going
wrong?

If not could you point me to a tutorial or the like?

Thanks, David

<?
session_start();
session_register("imagecount_session");
session_register("imagepath_session");
?>

<?
ListFolderContents($DOCUMENT_ROOT.$_GET["folder"]);
function ListFolderContents($path)
{
extract($GLOBALS);

$fs=$CreateObject["Scripting.FileSystemObject"]
$folder=$fs->GetFolder $path);
$imagecount_session=$folder->Files.$Count;
foreach ($folder Files as $item)
{

$i=$i+1;
$url=MapURL($item->path);
session_register("iCount".$i);
${"iCount".$i."_session"}=$item->Name;
} return $function_ret;
}
for ($j=1; $j<=$imagecount_session; $j=$j+1)
{
$a[$j]=${"iCount".$j."_session"};

}

$s=$Join[$a][","];
function MapURL($path)
{
extract($GLOBALS);

$rootPath=$DOCUMENT_ROOT."/";
$url=substr($path,strlen($path)-(strlen($path)-strlen($rootPath)));
$MapURL=str_replace("\","/",$url);
$imagepath_session=$MapURL;
return $function_ret;
}
?>

I must be doing something wrong. I can't seem to get the code below to
execute either. My page is .php, my host has PHP4. I can do this in ASP so
it must be a syntax quibble or something simple I'm missing. I can get
simple php functions to work though.

$path = '/path/to/dir'
if ($handle = opendir($path)) {
while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle))) {
if ($file != "." && $file != "..") {
$fName = $file;
$file = $path.'/'.$file;
if(is_file($file)) $numfile++;
if(is_dir($file)) $numdir++;
};
};
closedir($handle);
};
echo $numfiles.' files in a directory';
echo $numdir.' subdirectory in directory';
