The first thing to do is to please stop top posting (top posting
fixed).

Next I would suggest reporting the bug you have found as it is pretty
much impossible for the output to show:
./uploads/files
However, if I assume that you have made a copy'n'paste error and teh
output actually shows:
./uploads/files/
then you should look at why you are getting nothing output by your
echo statement, which is most likely because there is nothng in the
variable $pdf.

Since you do not tell us how $pdf is supposed to get populated, there
is not much more we can tell you.

BTW, <?php echo $pdf ?> should really say <?php echo $pdf; ?>
