perfect, thank you very much. that's just the answer i was looking for. i've new to mvc architecture, so i wasn't sure how i would go about something like this, but this makes absolute sense thanks, fedya On Feb 16, 6:25 am, Langdon Stevenson [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi Fedya I have written basic file handling features for a couple of projects now.

Re: filesystem browser with cakephp
Seb, I'm not trying to make anything complicated. I won't need file permissions or anything, I will however want to authenticate to view the files. What I'm trying to understand is how I would implement such a thing in CakePHP. For example, I could use opendir() and list all the files. All the tutorials I've seen deal mainly with displaying database data. I guess what I'm asking is if it's possible to integrate PHP's abilities into a CakePHP application in this case file system functions. Are there any tutorials for non-database applications of CakePHP? (I know I can write a simple filesystem browser using just PHP; I'm trying to understand how to use the filesystem for a CakePHP application I want to build soon, which is why I'm trying to learn it.)
