nested while only loops outer?

[kev@num]

hi, i've got a list called $words which I am looping through should ECHO one of these to the browser

and for each one of these I want to  show a list of filenames which should be made from the second - inner loop.

 

what happens is:

 

the first echo shows and then the inner loop runs but only runs once..

 

it doesn't run the inner loop for the second echo

 

 

<?php

while (list(, $value) = each($words)) {
echo $value ."<br>";




				while(false != ($file = readdir($dir))){
				if(($file != ".") and ($file != "..")){

				echo "<font color='red'>".$file ."</font><br>";

				}
				}




}
?>

 

 

any help would be much appreciated..

do i need to reset the inner loop after each run somehow?
