I hate to say it but that didn't work, I have been trying different
variations of the same ereg('_(^90-9{4}$).jpg$',$file_names) and nothing
seems to work for me, I have also been looking at the ereg and preg_ereg
functions but they don't seem to make sense to me, here is the code as a
whole if this helps:
// query directory and place results in select box
$dir_name = "/path/to/images/directory/on/server/"; // path to directory on
server
$dir = opendir($dir_name); // open the directory in question
$file_lost .= "<p><FORM METHOD=\"post\" ACTION=\"done.php3\" NAME=\"ad01\">
<SELECT NAME=\"image_path\">";
while ($file_names = readdir($dir)) {
if ($file_names != "." && $file_names !=".." && ereg('_(^[0-9]{4}.jpg$)',
$file_names)) // filter my contents
{
$file_lost .= "<OPTION VALUE=\"$file_names\"
NAME=\"$file_names\">$file_names</OPTION>";
}
}
$file_lost .= "</SELECT><br><br><INPUT TYPE=\"submit\" NAME=\"submit\"
VALUE=\"select\"></FORM></p>";
closedir($dir);
What I am trying to accomplish is to list the contents of a directory in
select box but I want to filter out any files that dont meet this criteria
*_4444.jpg and nothing is working for me, any help or good tutorials on
strings would be great.
