collections/index.php - Use collections to extend the scope of your server to existing file heaps

A collection is defined by following parameters

a nick name that has to be unique (e.g., 'library')
a label to be used as a title in pages browsing the collection
a path prefix to related files into the local file system (e.g. '/usr/lib')
an url prefix to be used to access files remotely (e.g. 'ftp://ftp.mydomain.com/library')
an introduction to be used on collections index page
a description to be used on one collection index page, before the list of folders and/or files
a prefix to be used on each browsing page of the collection, before the list of folders and/or files
a suffix to be used on each browsing page of the collection, after the list of folders and/or files

Folders and files in the collection are identified by some path information (e.g., 'mysoft/users-guide.pdf'). The actual folder or file is accessed locally by using the path prefix (e.g., '/usr/lib/mysoft/users-guide.pdf'). The URL for the file is built using the url prefix (e.g., 'ftp://ftp.mydomain.com/library/mysoft/users-guide.pdf').

If HTTP authentication credentials are provided, this script will also include protected collections.

This module uses following scripts:

index.php the main index page for collections
browse.php to browse one collection

This script is a reference file of this system.
