Re: how to question...

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 ?> Bob "Jas" <jlgerfen@hotmail.com> schrieb im Newsbeitrag news:20020404214251.60180.qmail@pb1.pair.com... > 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.
