How can I set up a file (script?) to display the complete file name in a directory off a web server? The site I'm working on has some unusually long names, and so far, everything I've tried results in some of the names being curtailed. I need this to be a clickable link that shows the complete file name. Is this possible?

thanks in advance for any help...

are they being shortened with readdir?

if they are they must really be long. I guess it is possible you could use the ftp functions and log into the directory via ftp (all can be done in the php code) and get a directory listing that way

That got me where I needed to be :)

Never seen that site before. I am impressed with the additional code snippets available.

That site is the official php site :) You may want to download the manual (aka the php bible) from there too :)
