It's a totally different approach to your script, but I think the following is much cleaner.

PHP Code:


			
$path  = 'path/to/files';

$files = glob($path.'/Minutes *.doc');

foreach ($files as $file)

{

    // Minutes 1-2-2003.doc

    $basename = basename($file);

    // Minutes 1-2-2003

    $no_ext   = basename($basename, '.doc');

    // 1-2-2003

    $date     = substr($no_ext, 8);

    printf('<li><a href="minutes/%s">Minutes - %s</a></li>', $basename, $date);

}
