The reason i need a list of files is for a file manager to run internally on
a network.

The idea being you create a rul selecting from a drop down list the type of
file and create a rule as to where on the server these files are to be
stored.

e.g

when a user logs on they can try and upload a file, if the extention has a
rule it will send the uploaded file to a directory on the server if not the
user is forwarded to page which has a dropdown list of file types, they then
select the type of file they wish to upload and the directory on the server
they wish to save the uploaded file to, next time the user want to upload a
file with the same extention it goes straight to the folder it was assigned
to when creating the rule.

An example of a rule would be

.gif is uploaded to C:\filemanager\images
.mdb is uploaded to C:\filemanager\AccessDatabases.

If you require furthere clarification please dont hesitate to ask.

It is just a simple solution to make storing files more simple and easy to
navigate to the file type you are looking for.
