Dug this out of the ol' code library...

$files = scandirectory($slogosDir);

if (count($files) <= 2) {echo "                <option>No Files Available!</option>\n";}
else {echo "          <option value=\"nofile\">Please select one...</option>\n";}

$filecount = 0;
foreach ($files as $file) {
if ($file != ".") { 
if ($file != "..") { 
if ($versionFile == $file) {
echo "                <option value=\"$file\" selected>$file</option>\n";
}
else {
echo "                <option value=\"$file\">$file</option>\n";
}

}
}
}




function scandirectory($dirstr) {

$files = array();
$fh = opendir($dirstr);
while (false !== ($filename = readdir($fh))) {array_push($files, $filename);}
closedir($fh);
return $files;

}

Had you looked at the manpage for readdir, you would see many examples of code similiar to that just lacking the HTML...

it amazes me how little people are actually willing to do things for themselves sometimes...
