This is a sample file that reads through a directory, filters the mp3//jpg/flv 
files and builds a playlist from it. After looking through this file, you'll 
probably 'get the idea' and'll be able to setup your own directory. This 
example uses the mp3player.

$filter = ".mp3";
// path to the directory you want to scan

			$items[] = $entry; 
		} 
	}
	$d->close();
	sort($items);

// third, the playlist is built in an xspf format
// we'll first add an xml header and the opening tags .. 
header("content-type:text/xml;charset=utf-8");

/*
That's it! You can feed this playlist to the SWF by setting this as it's 'file' 
parameter in HTML. Assuming you use the mp3player, the HTML code looks like this:

<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="300" height="350" id="mp3player"
		codebase="http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=8,0,0,0">
    <param name="movie" value="mp3player.swf?file=php_readdir_sample.php" />
    <param name="wmode" value="transparent" />
    <embed src="mp3player.swf?file=php_readdir_sample.php" wmode="transparent" width="300" height="350" name="mp3player"
