I gave it a go, and I got the error: "Parse error: parse error, unexpected '}'"
This was on the last "}". Now I am brand new at php, but should there not be an opening and closing curly bracket? in this code there are one "{" and three "}"
So I made my code:
<?php
if ($handle = opendir('../../../mov')) {
while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle)))if ($file != '.' && $file != '..')
$fileName = str_replace('.mov', '', $file);
echo '<option value="' . $file . '">' . $fileName . '</option>';
closedir($handle);
}
?>
And it does display the name in the menu... so that is a good start, but the link doesn't work when selected. So I am assuming hte code does need those brackets, and I rather need to open the opening one...

What I am hoping to do is have a drop down menu that would be populated
from the contents of a directory via php. Now The link names would be
generated by the file name minus the file extension. Has anyone seen a
tutorial on accomplishing something like this? All of the links would
be to quicktime movies, but I am hoping to have them embedded in HTML
(or PHP)..... So the movie is displayed in a browser....
thanks in advance!
This should do the trick:
// opening select tag goes here...
if ($handle = opendir('/path/to/files')) { while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle)))
if ($file != '.' && $file != '..')
$fileName = str_replace('.mov', '', $file);
echo '<option value="' . $file . '">' . $fileName . '</option>';
}
}
closedir($handle);
}
// closing select tag goes here
Haven't tested it. Hope it works and helps ;)
