select a folder with option select in php

[djpaul]

Hello guys,
I'm busy with an photogallery and i wanted to implent this script i wrote to select a folder and put there the photo's in.
But i only get 1 folder in the drop-down menu and the other is standing next to it.
If i do print_r ($folders); then the folders are side by side and the array has only index[0].
Anybody an idea?

this is my script:

[PHP]<? echo "<select name=\"selecteer folder\" size=\"1\" >";
$dir = ".";
$dp = opendir ($dir);
while ($folder = readdir($dp)){
if((is_dir($folder)) AND (substr($folder,0,1)!='.')){
$folders = explode (' ', $folder);
foreach ($folders as $index => $map){
echo "<option value=\"$index\">$map</option>";
echo "</select>";
$aantal = count ($folders); //For showing how many folders there are...(later use)
}
}
}
?>[/PHP]

You misplaced the end of select </select> statement. It should be outside the while loop\. I don't know what you want to do with the $aantal, so I left it where it was.

[php]<?
echo "<select name=\"selecteer folder\" size=\"1\" >";
$dir = ".";
$dp = opendir ($dir);
while ($folder = readdir($dp)){
if((is_dir($folder)) AND (substr($folder,0,1)!='.')){
$folders = explode (' ', $folder);
foreach ($folders as $index => $map){
echo "<option value=\"$index\">$map</option>";
$aantal = count ($folders); //For showing how many folders there are...(later use)
}
}
}
echo "</select>";
?>[/php]

well, $aantal means total.
That one shows how many folders you have created.
You can cut it out...
but the problem is that.. hmm wait, an example:

these are the folders:
football
Holiday
Wedding

if i show the array it looks like this:
array([0}=>footbal) Holidayarray ([0]=>Holiday) Weddingarray([0]=>Wedding)

but it suposed to be:
array ([0]=>footbal [1]=>Holiday [2]=>Wedding)

Ik weet dat aantal total betekent.

The position of the $aantal assignment looks useless to me, because you fill that variable each time the foreach loop is executing. So at the end you have the value of the last assignment in variable $aantal.

Also, if you want to show the text 'Selecteer folder' in the top of your drop-down box, you must specify that text in the first <option> statement, along with a value of nil. Like this:[php]<?php
echo "<select name=\"selecteer folder\" size=\"1\" >";
echo "<option value=''>Selecteer folder</option>";
$dir = ".";
... etc ....[/php]
