NEW = Listing directories inside menu

[Anon]

In this code below:

................
<?php
$dir_name = "/mydir/";
$dir = opendir($dir_name);
$file_list = "<select name=select>";
$file_list .= "<option selected>Select!</option>";
while ($file_name = readdir($dir)) {
if (($file_name != ".") && ($file_name != "..")) {
$file_list .= "<option>$file_name</option>";
}
}
$file_list .= "</select>";
closedir($dir);
?>
..................

I can list the contents of my directory inside a drop down menu. Is just call it:

<? echo "$file_list"; ?>

...................

"But", I need get the selected option in this drop down menu.
How can I do for this ???

Well, assuming you know what was previously selected, try this:

while ($file_name = readdir($dir)) {
if (($file_name != ".") && ($file_name != "..")) {
$sel = ($selected_file == $file_name ? " SELECTED " : " ");

$file_list .= "<option $sel >$file_name</option>";
}
}
