[blueman378]

hi guys well heres my code:

<?php

echo "<form method=\"post\" action=\"{$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']}\">";
echo "<select name=\"cat\">";
  $dir = '/avatars';
while ($folders = scandir($dir))
            {
                   if ($folders != "." && $folders != "..")
            {
echo "<option value=\"$folders\">{$folders}</option>";
}
}
echo "</select></form>";
           ?>

 

and heres the output:

<form method="post" action="/webspirited/forum/avatar.php"><select name="cat"><br />

<b>Warning</b>:  scandir(/avatars) [<a href='function.scandir'>function.scandir</a>]: failed to open dir: No such file or directory in <b>/home/webspiri/public_html/test/webspirited/forum/avatar.php</b> on line <b>6</b><br />

<br />

<b>Warning</b>:  scandir() [<a href='function.scandir'>function.scandir</a>]: (errno 2): No such file or directory in <b>/home/webspiri/public_html/test/webspirited/forum/avatar.php</b> on line <b>6</b><br />

 

</select></form>

If the script is in the same level try,

 

$dir = "./avatars";

Your code will result in to a infinite loop , i had modifed the code this will list all the folders in a combobox

 

$dir = '/home/';  this will be considered as path from root directory

 

if you want to give relative path

give like

$dir = '../classes/';

 

 

 

echo "<form method=\"post\" action=\"{$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']}\">";

echo "<select name=\"cat\">";

$dir = '/home/';

$folders = scandir($dir);

foreach ($folders as $Fname)

            {

                if ($Fname != "." && $Fname != ".." && is_dir($dir.$Fname))

            {

               

             

             

echo "<option value=\"$Fname\">{$Fname}</option>";

}

}

echo "</select></form>";
