looking for a piece of code... that can look at all the files in a specified directory and list them by file name...
the code must use a with statement and a variable for the filename... any help?

welcome to the forums! i hope you find lots of great help here.

i'm not sure i understand the second part of your question. it is fairly simple to loop through a directory and list the files:
[code]
function getMyFiles($dir) {
  if ($handle = opendir($dir)) {
    $files = array();
    echo "Directory handle: $handle\n";
    echo "Files:\n";

    /* This is the correct way to loop over the directory. */
    while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle))) {
      $files[] = $file;
    }

    closedir($handle);
  }
  sort($files);
  $out = '';
  foreach ($files as $file)
    $out .= "$file<br />\n";

  return $out;
}

echo getMyFiles("path/to/files");
[/code]

if you need further instruction, or if this isn't what you're after, please try to explain further.

Yes it does.. did you call the function??

[code]<?php
$x = getMyFiles("/etc/");

print $x;
?>[/code]

like keeB said, it should work just fine. make sure that you have a valid directory path you're using. remember that if you're going from root, you need the "/" at the beginning, but if you're just going from a relative folder, just write the path like i've shown above. here's a slight modification that will do another little error checking to make sure that you've declared a valid path:
[code]
function getMyFiles($dir) {
  if (is_dir($dir)) {
    if ($handle = opendir($dir)) {
      $files = array();
      echo "Directory handle: $handle\n";
      echo "Files:\n";

      /* This is the correct way to loop over the directory. */
      while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle))) {
        $files[] = $file;
      }

      closedir($handle);
    }
    sort($files);
    $out = '';
    foreach ($files as $file)
      $out .= "$file<br />\n";
  } else {
    $out = "<p>Specified directory does not exist</p>\n";
  }

  return $out;
}

echo getMyFiles("path/to/files");
[/code]

basically, i've added an is_dir() check to make sure that the designated directory exists before running the rest of the function.

hope this helps
