how about that:
<p>
<FORM METHOD="post" ACTION="blank.php3">
<SELECT NAME="files">
<?php
$dir = opendir("/home/web/b/bignickel.net/htdocs/");
while (false !== ($file = readdir($dir)) {
if ($file == "." || $file == "..") {
continue;
}
echo "<OPTION VALUE=\"$file\">$file</OPTION>\n";
}
?>
</SELECT>
<INPUT TYPE="submit" NAME="submit" VALUE="select">
</FORM>
</p>
in your example there are two mistakes:
1. "while ($file = readdir($dir))" is wrong and should be "while (false !==
($file = readdir($dir))". (see php manual readdir)
2. "$file_count .="<OPTION VALUE=\"$file\">$file</OPTION>";" is not inside
the loop,
so you will only get the last $file and not all
(3. you probably do not need "." and ".." in your list, "." is a reference
to the same directory and ".." to the directory above the current one)
