I want to display a bunch of results on a webpage as they occur from a PHP script. Basically, I want to execute a PHP script and display the results of a file list.
So, if I am displaying a list of files in a directory I'd like to show the path and filename as they are displayed.
I'd also like PHP to be the language that I display the results with because I know it best. Any ideas?

Im kind of confused with what you want, but from what I gather you could use file() for the first part of your question, which turns the entire contents of a file into an array, each new line is a new array element.
As for the second part, are you looking for a recursive directory script? Im sure its not exactly what you are looking for but it should move you into the right direction.
Which will display all the folders recursively down to the file in a multi dimensional array. Its just what I had laying around, I'm sure some basic mods you will have what you want (i think, but im tired and could be way off). It will display something like:

<?php
function DirectoryTree($dir)
{
$tree = array();
$dirs = array(array($dir, &$tree));
for($i = 0; $i < count($dirs); ++$i)
{
$d = opendir($dirs[$i][0]);
$tier =& $dirs[$i][1];
while($file = readdir($d)){
if ($file != '.' and $file != '..'){
$path = $dirs[$i][0] . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . $file;
if (is_dir($path)){
$tier[$file] = array();
$dirs[] = array($path, &$tier[$file]);
}
else{
$tier[$file] = filesize($path);
}
}
}
}
return $tree;
}
$d = DirectoryTree(getcwd());
var_export($d);
?>

Right, I get how to do the PHP part, what I want to do is display that data as I get it on the webpage without refreshing. Sort of like the "Thread Spy" here on CodeCall (in the quick links menu). Any ideas?

Well from what I understand, getting data from the server without refreshing the page is the perfect application of AJAX. I'm not sure you can do that in php alone.
