how would I go about getting directory list to appear in a drop down menu

[behindspace]

I'm working on a website for a friend, and I want to let him select an
image from a dropdown menu for his posts. how would I go about getting
that to work? I know you can echo the directory contents by using `ls -al`
could this be done the same way?

$handle = opendir($dir);
while($file = readdir($handle )) {
if(ereg("\.(jpg |jpeg|gif)^, $file))
print "$file<br>" ; // work with the data like You want to
}
