simple file browser

Feel free to improve it here, but PLEASE fill the 'notes' field below to explain your contribution.

[h3]documentation[/h3] An url like http://www.your-site.com/index.php/browser/[b]virtual_root[/b]/[b]path[/b] will allow people to browse directories and files that are under [b]path[/b] from [b]absolute_path[/b]. You define an [b]absolute_path[/b] (in the file system of the server) for a [b]virtual_root[/b] with this array [code] var $roots = array( 'virtual_root' => 'absolute_path', //... ); [/code] This may allow us to browse files that are outside your web root, forcing the browsing via CI, and allowing us full control on accesses (not provided for the moment).

[h3]todo[/h3]

• stats for directories and files
• links for sorting directories and files
• clever css markup
• several examples of stylesheets
• bells and hooks and whistles and filters to check accesses
