[Resolved] putting a dir in a form list field

[seanlyons]

Imagine my excitement when I got the following code to display a directory listing of an image upload area.

<?php 
$current_dir = 'images/upload/';
$dir = opendir($current_dir);

echo "Upload is $current_dir<br />";
while ($file = readdir($dir))
{
echo "$file<br />";
}
closedir($dir);

?>
 

But what I really need to do, is put the results of the directory query into a form list field, so that users can select the name of an image file to include in their documents.

Does anyone have any pointers for me?

instead of directly echoing the filename, put it inside option tags

<?php 
	$current_dir = 'images/upload/';
	if ($dir = opendir($current_dir) {
		echo "Upload is $current_dir<br />";
		$list = "<select name=\"listbox\" multiple>";
		while ($file = readdir($dir))
		{
			//echo "$file<br />";
			$list .= "<option value=\"$file\">$file</option>";
		}
		$list .= "</select>";
		echo $list;
		closedir($dir);
	}
?>

Brilliant

<?php 
    $current_dir = 'images/upload/';
    $dir = opendir($current_dir);


    $list = "<select name=\"listbox\">";
    while ($file = readdir($dir))
    {

        $list .= "<option value=\"$file\">$file</option>";
    }
    $list .= "</select>";
    {
	echo $list;
	}
    closedir($dir);

?>  

Works a treat. Thanks very much
