Aehm,
as Iīm a bit old- and shell- stylish (see reply from Rasmus on:How to
create...)
why donīt you just make
unset($retval); // cleans the array to contain the resul
exec("ls ".$your_path".*_1111.jpg",$retval,$is_ok); // $retval will be an
array containing all matches
if($is_ok)
{
<form bla...
for($i=0; $i < count($retval);$i++)
{
<option...> $retval[$i]</option>
}
<other formstuff...
}
If you want you could put another for loop around it to have your special files
be scanned one after the other.
Or did I missed something 'new' again ? ;-)
