Re: Assigning unique form names...

Yeah I have tried $file_name but the problem stems from the while ($file_name = readdir($dir) being called after the creation of the form in $file_list. Is there a way to put the ($file_name = readdir($dir) before the $file_list function? I have tried to do it a couple of different ways such as making a new variable $files = ($file_name = readdir($dir)) { if (($file_name != ".") && ($file_name !="..")) { $file_list .= "<OPTION VALUE=\"$file_name\" NAME=\"$file_name\">$file_name</OPTION>"; } } but that didn't work, I also tried another thing but so far nothing has allowed me to create a unique action in the form or a unique name for the form. <?php $dir_name = "/path/to/images/directory/"; $dir = opendir($dir_name); $file_list .= "<p><FORM METHOD=\"post\" ACTION=\"**I need this to be a unique file name**\" NAME=\"$file_name\"><SELECT NAME=\"files\">"; while ($file_name = readdir($dir)) { if (($file_name != ".") && ($file_name !="..")) { $file_list .= "<OPTION VALUE=\"$file_name\" NAME=\"$file_name\">$file_name</OPTION>"; } } $file_list .= "</SELECT><br><br><INPUT TYPE=\"submit\" NAME=\"submit\" VALUE=\"select\"></FORM></p>"; closedir($dir); ?>
