How to best add links to files? 2k+ files.

So im trying to figure out a way I can help my self automate the process of adding links to files in my html. I heard this can be done in json/javascript or php? Im just not sure how to start and go about learning how to do it.

the site im working on is temporarily up at http://new.omegadesignla.com/courses/math.php and all the files will some how need to be linked. Is there a way to do this in javascript or php?

also, the files are stored locally in directories on the server like <a href="math/algebra1cc/algebra1ccstudysheets/algebra1ccstudysheetunit1.pdf>

the site was done before but horribly and I have to redo it better. I am using foundation.

I will have to somehow add links to a hundered + classes each with 20 files. Here is an example code:

<div class="tabs-content">
    <div class="content active" id="p1a">
          <ul class="ss">
          <li><a href="#">Study Sheet Unit One</a></li>
          <li><a href="#">Study Sheet Unit Two</a></li>
          <li><a href="#">Study Sheet Unit Three</a></li>
          <li><a href="#">Study Sheet Unit Four</a></li>
          <li><a href="#">Study Sheet Unit Five</a></li>

          </ul>
    </div>
    <div class="content" id="p1b">
      <ul class="ssa">
          <li><a href="#">Study Sheet w/ Answers Unit One</a></li>
          <li><a href="#">Study Sheet w/ Answers Unit Two</a></li>
          <li><a href="#">Study Sheet w/ Answers Unit Three</a></li>
          <li><a href="#">Study Sheet w/ Answers Unit Four</a></li>
          <li><a href="#">Study Sheet w/ Answers Unit Five</a></li>

          </ul>
    </div>
    <div class="content" id="p1c">
      <ul class="ga">
          <li><a href="#">Graded Assignment Unit One</a></li>
          <li><a href="#">Graded Assignment Unit Two</a></li>
          <li><a href="#">Graded Assignment Unit Three</a></li>
          <li><a href="#">Graded Assignment Unit Four</a></li>
          <li><a href="#">Graded Assignment Unit Five</a></li>

     </ul>
    </div>
    <div class="content" id="p1d">
      <ul class="gaa">
          <li><a href="#">Graded Assignment w/ Answers Unit One</a></li>
          <li><a href="#">Graded Assignment w/ Answers Unit Two</a></li>
          <li><a href="#">Graded Assignment w/ Answers Unit Three</a></li>
          <li><a href="#">Graded Assignment w/ Answers Unit Four</a></li>
          <li><a href="#">Graded Assignment w/ Answers Unit Five</a></li>

          </ul>
