All files into List/Menu with submit button help?

[maxrpg123]

hello

 

I have this code which works perfectly for what i want and what it does is gets every file in a folder and lists them all into a List/Menu box on the page.

 

<?php echo "<select name='yourfiles'>";
//The path to the style directory
$dirpath = "New Folder/";
$dh = opendir($dirpath);
while (false !== ($file = readdir($dh))) {
//Don't list subdirectories
if (!is_dir("$dirpath/$file")) {
//Truncate the file extension and capitalize the first letter
echo "<option value='$file'>" . htmlspecialchars(ucfirst(preg_replace('/\.txt*$/', '', $file))) . '</option>';
}
}
closedir($dh); 
//Close Select

echo "</select>";
?>

 

What i cant figure out is how do i add a submit button to it and display the selected file name on the next page? 

 

 

What im aiming to do is select a file from the list menu and when i click submit it will open the selected file and show its contents (text) on the webpage.

 

any help would be greatly appreciated thank you

You'll first need to wrap your code in <form></form> tags. Then after the closing select tag (</select>). You'll want to place your submit button.
