help with readdir

[pooker]

I am having problems with this script, I want it to open th directory, then read it and return only the the name and print it in a dropdown menu if it is a directory.

 

Code

 

<?php

$dir = opendir('./mangareader/');

while($folder = readdir($dir) ){

if (is_dir($folder)) {

?>

<option value='1'><? echo $folder ?></option>

<? }

 

}

closedir($dir);

?>

 

 

 

the dropdown menu works and everything this is just the bare code for how i did the script

ok I got it to work, but when I ask it to just read the directorys it just outputs periods

 

Anyreason why? It out puts lik this in menu

 

.

..

 

Which there is two directories but it does not list there names

 

 

[ratcateme]

because when php views a directory it finds:

"." the current dir

".." the previous dir

to remove these change the if to

if (is_dir($folder) && $folder != ".." && $folder != ".") {
