Anyone who has a website running PHP 5+.

Why use ExploraSaurus?

ExploraSaurus has all of the functionality of traditional file explorers and then some. It allows users to view directory structures as if they had file system rights. Easy navigation to the information they're after. ExploraSaurus allows searching within the directory structure and will even highlight search matches in the directory tree as well as display results in the search panel. There is also capabilities for searching within files. The searches can be simple such as ".txt" for finding all txt files or can use advanced regex patterns such as "[a-z]+"

I like the demo but I only want the basics.

ExploraSaurus is built in tiers, there are top level tiers which have lots of functionality including directory searches and file searches. There is also the base tier which just allows users to move around the directory structure opening and closing folders similar to windows file explorer, perfect for a sitemap. When the user left clicks a file they are hyperlinked to that file, this functionality is inherited in all tiers.
