Stagnate Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 Hey guys, im just starting out with PHP and im making a website that hosts some images. Its going great so far but I want to have a drop down that can show my albums. such as: <form name="form" id="form"> <select name="jumpMenu" class="dropdown" id="jumpMenu" onchange="MM_jumpMenu('parent',this,0)"> <option value="#" selected="selected">Browse</option> <option value="#">Ground - Concrete</option> <option value="#">Grass</option> <option value="#">Metal</option> <option value="#">Graffiti</option> </select> </form> I want the entrys for this to come from my images folder. For example if i have images/holiday then holiday will come up in the list. Is there anywhere I can get an example of this?

Northern Flame Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 do you mean you want the drop down list to include a list of all the images? or do you want the drop down list to show the image selected?

teng84 Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 since you use jump menu you will also need get variable where you will pass the name or id of each images to be displayed Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/78360-solved-simple-question-about-a-drop-down-list/#findComment-396501 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Flame Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 if you mean that you want the select box to include the names of all your images, this will work.... <?php $ruff = glob("images/**"); $x = 0; foreach($ruff as $no => $yea){ $strip = explode("/", $yea); $content[$x] = $strip[1]; $x++; } $y = 0; foreach($content as $noth => $yup){ $anoth = explode(".", $yup); $real[$y] = $anoth[0]; $y++; } $holder = " <form name=\"form\" id=\"form\">\n"; $holder .= "<select name=\"jumpMenu\" class=\"dropdown\" id=\"jumpMenu\" onchange=\"MM_jumpMenu('parent',this,0)\">\n"; foreach($real as $file => $name){ $holder .= "\t<option value=\"#\">$name</option>\n"; } $holder .= "</select>\n"; $holder .= "</form>\n"; echo $holder; ?> Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/78360-solved-simple-question-about-a-drop-down-list/#findComment-396504 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stagnate Posted November 22, 2007 Author Share Posted November 22, 2007 Na i dnt want the drop down to include images. Just the folder names. Heres what I mean /images/ /Holidays/Xmas2007/Family/Boating/ So, where i have holidays/xmas..... they will be sub folders (of images) containing images in my root directory. All i need to do is for that drop down to list those folders. <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /> <title>Untitled Document</title> <script type="text/javascript"> <!-- function MM_jumpMenu(targ,selObj,restore){ //v3.0 eval(targ+".location='"+selObj.options[selObj.selectedIndex].value+"'"); if (restore) selObj.selectedIndex=0; } //--> </script> </head> <body> <form name="form" id="form"> <select name="jumpMenu" class="dropdown" id="jumpMenu" onchange="MM_jumpMenu('parent',this,0)"> <option value="#" selected="selected">Browse</option> <option value="#">text</option> </select> </form> </body> </html> Once i get this going ill be set Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/78360-solved-simple-question-about-a-drop-down-list/#findComment-396519 Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenInBlack Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 Try this i found the recursive function under the glob docs http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.glob.php and adopted it to what you are looking for <?php ob_start(); session_start(); function listdirs($dir) { static $alldirs = array(); $dirs = glob($dir . '/*', GLOB_ONLYDIR); if (count($dirs) > 0) { foreach ($dirs as $d) $alldirs[] = $d; } foreach ($dirs as $dir) listdirs($dir); return $alldirs; } $folder = 'images'; $dirlist = listdirs($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].$folder); echo <<<htmltext <form name="form" id="form"> <select name="jumpMenu" class="dropdown" id="jumpMenu" onchange="MM_jumpMenu('parent',this,0)"> htmltext; for ($i=0;$i < count($dirlist);$i += 1) { echo "<option value=\"".basename($dirlist[$i])."\">".basename($dirlist[$i])."</option>"; } echo <<<htmltext </select> </form> htmltext; ?> Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/78360-solved-simple-question-about-a-drop-down-list/#findComment-396528 Share on other sites More sharing options...

BenInBlack Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 you will have to adjust the path reference in the function also $dirs = glob($dir .
