Directory dropdown problem

[MargateSteve]

I am using the code below to select a folder for an image upload. It works fine in that it does show all of the sub folders of the images folder but the first two options in the dropdown are . and ..

 

I am not sure where they are coming from (although they do make me think of 'up one level' and 'go to top level option's) but cannot work out how to remove them.

 

Also, I have been searching for a way to list the folders alphabetically but am stuck on that too!

 

Thanks in advance for any suggestions

$dirs = scandir('/path/to/images');
foreach ($dirs as $dir) 
{
  if (is_dir('/path/to/'.$dir)) 
{
echo '<option value="'.$dir.'">'.$dir.'</option>';
}
}

The current directory and directory one level back are exactly what they are. You can exclude them when you loop through the array in the foreach loop with && strpos($dir, '.') !== 0.

Perfect as always!

 

As for the alphabetical order, once I added more folders I noticed that it is sorted alphabetically anyway!

 

Thanks
