directory drop down box, with links to the files from it?

dv6cougar

this is my code

<html>
<head>
<title>Untitled Document</title>
</head>

<body bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000">
<table>
<form method="post" action="<?=$_SERVER["PHP_SELF"]?>">
<tr><td>  <select name="filename">
    <?


$directory = $DOCUMENT_ROOT . "/phplearn/";

$link = "$directory.$filename";

$dirhandle = opendir($directory);

$diropen = fopen($directory);


if($_POST["submit"]) {
	 include_once("$link") OR DIE("cannot be done");
	 }

while($filename = readdir($dirhandle))
{
  print("<option value=\"$filename\">$filename</option>");
}
 header(Location: "$link");


?>
  </select><br></td></tr>


 <tr><td> <input type="submit" value="GO"></td></tr>
</form>
</table>
</body>
</html>

i have tried to do alot with this... selected field is <a href> and the header being apart of the <option selected value> but for the life of me I cannot get the go button to link to the url of $filename

any help is appreciated, thanks 🙂

yeah you have to send a header before any html is echoed out to the browser. You'll need a javascript function to change the page based on what value is selected - if you have a look at the source of the page here then you'll see that they use one to redirect the page based on what forum list you select.

Is this more what your looking for?

<script language="JavaScript" type="text/JavaScript">
function jumpMenu(targ,selObj){
   eval(targ+".location='"+selObj.options[selObj.selectedIndex].value+"'");
   }
</script>
<form name="form1"><?php

$directory = "/phplearn/";

echo"<select onChange=\"jumpMenu('parent',this)\">";
if($handle = opendir($DOCUMENT_ROOT . $directory )) {
   while(false !== ($file = readdir($handle))) {
      if($file != "." && $file != "..") {
         echo"<option value=\"".$directory.$file."\">$file</option>";
         }
      }
   closedir($handle); 
   }
echo"</select>";
?>
</form>
