[SOLVED] array in dropdown box

[Marcos01]

Hello all,

 

I would like to display folders from the server in a dropdown box.

 

This is the script I have so far:

 

$folders = (ftp_nlist($conn,"../userfiles/images/projecten"));

$recordcount = count($folders);

echo '<br />';

echo '<select name="folders">';

for($i=1; $i<$recordcount, $i ++

  {

    echo "<option>".$folders[$i]."</option>";

}

 

echo '</select>';

Is it not working??

Please use code tags

Try this (untested):

 

echo '<select name="folders">';
foreach(glob("/path/to/directory/*",GLOB_ONLYDIR) as $dir){
     echo "<option>".$dir."</option>";
}
echo '</select>';

Thanks for your replies. Yes, I am using code tags. Little guy, I inserted your code. The dropdown box appeared. However without content(folders).

[The Little Guy]

did you set the path to the directory you would like to search, and leave the *

 

?

 

It works for me...

 

I used this:

echo '<select name="folders">';
foreach(glob("../*",GLOB_ONLYDIR) as $dir){
     echo "<option>".$dir."</option>";
}
echo '</select>';

I made a little error with the path. Yes, I left the * in place.

 

Now I am getting content in it. It displays the whole path.

 

I only need the folder. Any Idea on how to fix that?

 

Thanks for your help!!

here I made a function, it returns an array of all the directories:

Sorry but I don't understand how to implement that in the code.

 

Note that in the dropdown box I get to see the whole path instead of just the folders.

[The Little Guy]

function getDirs($directory){
    $opt = array();
    foreach(glob(str_replace("//","/","$directory/*"),GLOB_ONLYDIR) as $dir){
        $opt[] = str_replace($directory,"",$dir);
    }
    return $opt;
}

$dirList = getDirs('../'); // Modify this line's folder location, don't use an asterisk.

echo '<select name="folders">';
foreach($dirList as $dir){
     echo "<option>".$dir."</option>";
}
echo '</select>';

I hope this will help other people too.
