Put an if check around your QT placeholder code:
if (isset($_POST['nameOfYourSelectBox'])) {
// placeholder code
}
Set your embed src-tag to:
src="../../../mov/"
So if you submit your select box the selected movie should be shown. Maybe
you can omit the width and height attributes.

Ok - here is the relevant Quicktime code:

Now I figure - getting the file name in there would be pretty easy (for
the most part), but the thing is getting the dimensions of the movie in
there... as it is possible that not all movies are the same dimensions.
I am hoping to have just the one PHP that will change dynamically for
the QT content - I would like to avoid having a php or html file for
each QT movie.

ok, I added brackets and made my code to:
if ($file != '.' && $file != '..') {
$fileName = str_replace('.mov', '', $file);
echo '' .
$fileName . '';
}
}
closedir($handle);
}
?>
when viewing my page in a browser, it worked! Now what I am hoping to
do is put this menu on a PHP page, and have a qt movie placeholder and
when this menu is used - replace the placeholder with the selected qt
movie... I am just not sure how to do this.
This should be easy. Please post your QT placeholder (HTML) code. Then
we
can help.

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:
if ($file != '.' && $file != '..')
$fileName = str_replace('.mov', '', $file);
echo '' . $fileName .
'';
closedir($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...

Hi there
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 '' . $fileName .
'';
}
}
closedir($handle);
}
// closing select tag goes here
Haven't tested it. Hope it works and helps ;)

Torsten Roehr
