Reading files on client machine
Is it possible to have PHP generate a list of files on the client machine, similar to what readdir() can do for the server?

for accessing the client's filesystem certain permissions must be granted.
If you're going to write an applet for that search for signed applets and manifest, so the browser will ask the user wether he/she/it allows the applet access to the filesystem.
if you're working on a win32-system, did you try e.g. [url=file:///C:/]file:///C:/[/url]?
