Hi Jas,

if I understood your question right, you can solve your problem best with
something like the following:

?php

$i=0;  // counter
$files = array(); // array to store directory content

// open directory
$dir = opendir(PATH_TO_DIR);

// loop through directory and put filenames into an array
while ($file = readdir($dir)) {
  $files[$i] = $file;
  $i++;
}

// close directory
closedir($dir);

// now do something reasonable with your array

?

 Ok here is what I would like to accomplish, I am sure someone has done
 something like this but I need an example to go from since I am still not
 able to write php from scratch...
 I need to write a function to count the contents of a directory, like the
 file names and place them into an array so I can use a select box to
select
 the file path in which I would like to save to database, like I said I
don't
 want someone to do it for me, I just need a resource such as a tutorial or
 example to run with. Thanks a ton,
 Jas
