I have this script for adding images in bulk to a "rate me" site, but
it was written for a linux server and I have a windows (server 2003)
server. this line of code is giving me errors:    $filelist =
explode("\n",`find $dir|sort`);
I think this is because it is using the "find" command which is a
linux command. I would like this portion (and any other part) to be
re-written so it will work on my windows server.
Thankyou!

Hello, b3and1p:
  I have fixed the script to be OS independent and written in pure
PHP, I have written a function that finds all the files and folders in
an specified path, including subfolders and then sort and return the
results in an array.
  
  I have tested the fix both in Linux and Windows, but I can't test
the complete script because I don't have the tables you use, you can
download the complete script from here:
  
  http://www.xpde.com/fixed.zip
  
  Here is the code, but I suggest you to download the file instead try
copy and paste, because some lines will be truncated:
  
<?php 
  // this is a quick and dirty bulk adder, but it does the trick.. 
  // fill out the info below and pick a base username and how many
pics you want
  // on each account.  this script will generate the useraccounts and
image records
  // You can log into the accounts later to edit descriptions and
categories if you want
  // put this file in the same directory as imagevote. 
  // not an official part of image vote - use carefully and delete
after use (or duplicates will be added each time run)
 
  require ('config.php'); 
  mysql_connect($host,$user,$pass); 
  
  //Added code
    function listdirectories($dir)
    {
		global $result;
		$result[]=$dir;
		
		$contents=array();
		if (is_dir($dir)) 
		{
			if ($dh = opendir($dir)) 
			{
				while (($file = readdir($dh)) !== false) 
				{
				    if (($file!='.') && ($file!='..'))	$contents[]=$dir."/".$file;
				}
				closedir($dh);
			}
		}
		reset($contents);
		while (list($k,$v)=each($contents))
		{
			//echo $v."\n";
			listdirectories($v);
		}
	}
	
    function findandsort($path)
    {
		global $result;
		$result=array();
		listdirectories($path);
		sort($result);
