Is there a way to retrieve a list of the contents of a public Dropbox folder (preferably in PHP)? This is what a URL to a public file in Dropbox looks like:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1234567/publikPholder/textytext.txt
One would think that jumping up one level to the directory in the URL...
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1234567/publikPholder/
...would show all the public files. Nope. Nothing but a 404.

Request access to a shared folderClick the invitation link that you received. Click Request access. If you have more than one Dropbox account, select which account you'd like to add the shared folder to. Your request will be sent to the folder owner, and you'll be notified if the owner accepts your request.
Yes, recovering or restoring deleted files from Dropbox is simple. On dropbox.com, navigate to the Deleted files page, select the recoverable files or folders you'd like to recoup and click restore.
If you can't see files that you expect to see in a shared folder, then you may have unintentionally deleted the folder. Check that the folder you're looking at is still shared: Sign in to dropbox.com. Click Shared in the left sidebar.
Looks like this library is pretty complete (although I haven't used it myself), and is probably as simple as (post-auth):
$info = $dropbox->getMetaData('Public', true);
print_r($info['contents']);
UPDATE: I found a thread on the Dropbox forums where a user posts a link that claims to enable something pretty close to what I'm asking for. Guess what? It works! I don't know where it came from or where it's documented, but if it's helpful to anyone else, here it is (clicking this link will enable it and I don't know if it can be disabled. Proceed with caution):

The resulting public folder looks like this:
