add directory

[jagguy]

q)I want to add a directory of filenames to a database. How do I get the filenames from a directory with user input so I can use them with php.

From there I can goto another page with all filenames and other data to add for each new record(which is each filename and asscociated data).

Im not sure exactly what your asking, but here is simply how you get the filenames into an array:

[code]
$open_dir = opendir("dirname");

$c=0;
while ($file = readdir($open_dir)) {
  if ($file != "." && $file != "..") {
    $files_array[$c]['filename'] = $file;
  }
  $c++;
}
[/code]

Ok thanks, I should have looked in php manual .

What about the user getting a popup box of all the directories to choose from and just selecting a dir from on their PC. Instead of having to type it in manually.
