If you don't, then nothing will be displayed. Are you sure that your "/path/to/directory" is a real path to a real directory? etc etc > $file_lost .= "<OPTION VALUE=\"$file_names\" > NAME=\"$file_names\">$file_names</OPTION>"; > } > } > $file_lost .= "</SELECT><br><br><INPUT TYPE=\"submit\" NAME=\"submit\" > VALUE=\"select\"></FORM></p>"; > closedir($dir); > > Erik ---- Erik Price Web Developer Temp Media Lab, H.H.
