[RESOLVED] Insert Function into Drop Down Menu

transfield

Hello,
My ultimate goal is to be able to browse a particular folder, select any file from that folder & send it via email to someone. With that in mind, this is what I've done so far. I hope I'm on the right track.

I've created a function to open & read all the files in a particular folder. This function is working properly. Now I want all the files to be displayed in a drop down menu so that I can select a particular file, click the Submit button & off it goes via email...

How do I display all the files in a drop down menu?

I will figure out the emailing part later if it is too troublesome for you to explain everything. Thanks a lot for your guidance.

My code is displayed below:-

<html>
<head>
<title>New Page 1</title>
</head>
<body>
<?php
function hello()
{
if ($handle = opendir('/home/someone/domains/someone.com/file_emailer'))
{
while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle)))
{ 
if ($file != "." && $file != "..")
{
echo "$file<br>"; 
}
}
}
}
hello();
?>

<form name="form1" method="post" action="">
 <select size="1" name="D1">
 <option value="<?php //how to insert the function hello() inside here??>">hello</option>
 </select><input type="submit" value="Submit" name="B1"><input type="reset" value="Reset" name="B2"></p>

</form>

</body>

</html>

Like this do you mean, cos hello() is not going to return the file names one by one:

if ($file != "." && $file != "..")
{
echo '<option value="' . $file . '">' . $file . '</option>';

}
}
}
}
hello();
?>

Thank you for your reply Roger. I've revamped the whole thing & included your suggestion in it. My code is listed below. It works fine. Let me insert the Submit buttons & other stuff & try to send the files via email. If I get stuck, I will post my issue here again for help.

Thank you once again for your knowledge & I wish you well.

<?php
           if ($dir = @opendir("/home/someone/domains/someone.com/file_emailer")) 
           {
               while (($file = readdir($dir)) !== false) 
               {
                   if($file != ".." && $file != ".")
                   {
                       $filelist[] = $file;
                   }
               } 
               closedir($dir);
           }
           ?>
<form>
           <select name="selected_dir" >
           <?php 
           asort($filelist);
           while (list ($key, $val) = each ($filelist)) 
           {
               echo "<option>$val</option>";
           }
           ?>
            </select>
</form>
