Why does this file not return file names that start with numbers?

[spenceddd]

This file returns a list of filenames to help populate a drop down in my form. For some reason it ignores any file names that begin with numbers, could anyone please tell my why and show me how to solve it?

 

<?php
function buildFileList5($theFolder, $value) {
// Execute code if the folder can be opened, or fail silently
  	if ($contents = @ scandir($theFolder)) {
    	// initialize an array for matching files
    	$found = $output = array();
   		// Create an array of file types
    	$fileTypes = array('jpg','jpeg','gif','png','JPG');
    	// Traverse the folder, and add filename to $found array if type matches
	$found = array();
    	foreach ($contents as $item) {
      		$fileInfo = pathinfo($item);
      		if (array_key_exists('extension', $fileInfo) && in_array($fileInfo['extension'],$fileTypes)) {
        		$found[] = $item;
      		}
    	}
	// Check the $found array is not empty
	if (!empty($found)) { 
      		// Sort in natural, case-insensitive order, and populate menu
      		natcasesort($found);
		//$selectedImage = ""; //default image     
      		foreach ($found as $filename){ 
			$sel = ""; //reset $sel  
			$selectedImage = ""; //default image     
  			if($value == $filename) {   
				$sel = "selected=\"selected\"";                								 					
				$selectedImage = $filename;
			}
			$output[] = "<option value=\"$filename\" $sel>$filename</option>\n";     
		}
   	 	}
	return (empty($output) ? '<option value="-1">No Items Found in `'.$theFolder.'`</option>' : '<option value="-1">Please select an Item</option'."\n".join("\n",$output));
  }
}
?>

 

Thanks a million for any help on this.

It might help, or it might not, but could you give some example filenames (and any other information you think might be relevant) which are mistakenly ignored?

Yes of course, here is the file list:

 

weekScan.jpg

1Autumn Leaves.jpg

Creekbo.jpg

Croak.jpg

Desert Landscape.jpg

Dock.jpg

Fluence-1600x1200.jpg

Garden.jpg

Green Sea Turtle.jpg

IMG_0754.JPG

Tree.jpg

 

of which only the item: 1Autumn Leaves.jpg odesn't load into the drop down list. Also if i change the names of the other items to inlcude numbers at the start of the name, they stop working too.

 

You can see the form here where the image box drop downs are the drop downs in question.  http://www.spencercarpenter.co.uk/portfolioAppFiles/simpleForm.php

 

Hopefully that helps a bit.

The HTML is invalid. It actually works in FF (which ignores a lot of markup errors) but does not work in IE.

 

The problem is there is no closing > in the following -

 

<option value="-1">Please select an Item</option

Ah yes got it thanks very much. Merry Christmas!
