If by "local disk" you mean the files on YOUR computer (not the server one) local disk, then I guess it's not possible with PHP, since PHP is a server-side scripting language. For doing that, I believe you should use some kind of java APP. Maybe PHP can be used, but getting the root directory and folders information, I guess you should use that other one I mentioned.

Hi Pankyy,
what i meant was that the computer is the server.
which mean is there ways to list the folders in the server itself not only the var/www folder(which is the root folder of apache).

thanks.

If you have complete control of the server, then you most likely don't have to modify any system files. Therefore the following should work without any errors:

<?php$files = scandir("/");foreach ($files as $value)	echo $value."<br/>";?>
