anyone?

umm try:

while ($num <= 2)

about the file name I don't understand the code so I can't help you...

scbmx

that didnt work...what i mean by the file names is that instead of putting a different number for each file...it duplicates the same file with different numbers up to the limit of 20 then it goes to the next file and does the same thing

There seem to be quite a few problems in this code. First you are setting $num to 0 and then setting it to 2 and adding one each time through the loop so $num is always going to equal 3 when it prints in your option value. Also your while loop for reading the files in the directory isn't quite right. Try something like this:

<?php
if (false !== ($dhandle = opendir($dirPath))) 
{ 
   $num = 0;
   while (false !== ($filename = readdir($dhandle)))
   { 
        if ($filename != "." && $filename != "..") 
        { 
?>
<option value="<?php echo $num; ?>"><?php echo $filename; ?></option>
<?php
          $num++;
        } 
   }
}
?>
