here is how you do that in php
this file will read everything in the directory and the person can right click and save as
just put this as a file in the directory and then call it download.php or something and get the person to link to that. you can add stuff to it etc... to make it all pretty like

1060781471.zip

I don't want them to be able to download from the list.
The CGI upload form works great.
the do it yourself download form works with fixed file names.

What I want is a table with the files in the turnfiles directory, and a way to get an automatic download of the only file in the gamefile directory when you press the download current gameturn icon

This is how it looks now:

Just a way to get all filenames in a directory into a variable would be very helpful.

Well, the simplest solution would be for you to just name the current .zip file without the turn number. If the latest file is always the same name the download link never changes. You just overwrite it when you upload it for the players to get.

They would also have to download it and unpack it to verify that it is indeed the latest turn and that I haven't messed up.
With the turn number in the file name it's easier for both them and me to know that all is ok.

I'd prefer to keep it to PBW standards.

In perl, just use opendir and readir thus;

$directory = '/tmp/files';
@files = ();
opendir (DIR, $directory);
while ($file = readdir(DIR)) {
push @files, $file;
}
closedir(DIR);

and @files has your list of files.
