Sorry there are some braces missing. Please try this:
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);
}
Regards, Torsten
