readdir & option value

[Piotr Wolski]

more or less that is my problem:

i'm making HTML <select><option > statement:

if ($dir = @opendir("/the/directory)) {
while($file = readdir($dir)) {

echo '<option value="'.$file. '">'.$file;
}
}


the number of options depends of number of files in directory.

When user chooses one of this files(he chooses an option) i want to know
what option he choosen.

how can i do this?

Re: readdir &amp; option value

Give the select control a name e.g. <select name="file">. Then the
selected file will be in $_REQUEST['file'] when the form is submitted.
