Trouble tweaking directory listing

[sedmonds]

I'm wanting to list files located in a directory. I'm able to get that done easily, however there are other files in the directory that I don't want listed. This list is going into a dropdown menu for use in a form. Here is the code I have now:

<? 
$path = "/home/jedmonds/www/gallery/albums/headshots/";
$dir_handle = @opendir($path) or die("Unable to open $path"); 
while ($file = readdir($dir_handle))
{
if($file == "." || $file == ".." || $file == "index.php" ) continue;
if ($images == "$file")
{
$selected = "selected";
} else {
$selected = "";
}
echo "<option value="$file" $selected>$file</option>";
}
closedir($dir_handle); ?>

1. How do I get it to omit anything with the word "highlight" or "thumb" in the name from showing up in the list?
2. How do I omit the .bak and .lock files from the list?

See the code in action

Anyone able to give me some hints? Thanks 🙂

<?php

$dont_show = array(
    'highlight',
    'thumbs',
    '.bak',
    '.lock',
);


$path = "/home/jedmonds/www/gallery/albums/headshots/";
$dir_handle = @opendir($path) or die("Unable to open $path");

while (false !== ($file = readdir($dir_handle)))
{
    if($file == "." || $file == ".." || $file == "index.php" ) continue;

foreach ($dont_show as $string) {
    if (false !== strpos($file, $string)) continue;
}

if ($images == $file)
{
    $selected = ' selected="selected"';
} else {
    $selected = '';
}

echo "<option value=\"$file\"$selected>$file</option>";
}
closedir($dir_handle);

?>

you could also use regular expressions for this.

I'm getting the same results...

change this

        if (false !== strpos($file, $string)) continue; 

to this

        if (false !== strpos($file, $string)) continue 2;
