Descending Explorer

Version 2.1

Description:
The purpose of this script is to provide the ability for a webmaster to post files to a folder
and not need a complex interface for displaying them. Granted, one could just go for the default
Apache directory listing. However, there are some concerns with showing everything, especially when
one does not have total control over the server. 

It was primarily designed to show a grid of image thumbnails so you didn't have to have a more complex
script to show a bunch of images or have to make a page with image thumbnails or click on link after
link in the default Apache directory listing to view every image in a directory and see if it's actually
something you want to look at.

Version History:

08/27/2006 - v1.0 Descending Explorer first created!

04/27/2008 - v2.0 Updated the scripting to use the linux 'ls' command with options to better list files
                  with newest on top, as opposed to by file name. Also the display is updated to paginate
                  file display to cut back on resources used by the script.

11/15/2009 - v2.1 Updated to add custom labeling and clean up some of the commentary

Installation:

Installation is simple. Open the 'descending_explorer.php' file in your favorite editor and change the configuration 
variables to your liking. Then, upload the file to your webserver where you want to list files and navigate to it.
Depending upon your server configuration, you might name the file 'index.php' so you don't have to specify a file
when you browse to it.
