Help with PHP

I am try to get a script to detect all the files in a directory, however it only shows the first file in the directory, how can I make so it detects all the files?

This is part of an entire script, but the rest is fine and has no realtion to this.
Here's what I've done:

} elseif ($_GET[p] =="4") {
$contentform = '<FORM method="POST" action="index.php?p=sigout">
	<strong>Signature Template:</strong><br>
	<select name=image>';
$handle2 = opendir('templates');
   while (false !== ($image = readdir($handle2))) {
   $image = str_replace('.', '' ,$image);
   $image = str_replace('png', '' ,$image);
   $image = str_replace('indexphp', '', $image);
   $image = str_replace('Thumbsdb', '', $image);
   if ($image != '') {
    $contentform3 = '<option value="'.$image.'.png">'.$image.'</option>';
}
   }
  closedir($handle2);
$contentform2 = '</select>
	<br>
	<P><strong>Font:</strong><br>
	<select name=font>';
$handle = opendir('fonts');
   while (false !== ($font = readdir($handle))) {
   $font = str_replace('.', '' ,$font);
   $font = str_replace('ttf', '' ,$font);
   $font = str_replace('TTF', '' ,$font);
   $font = str_replace('indexphp', '', $font);
   $font = str_replace('Thumbsdb', '', $font);
       if ($font != '') {
    $contentform6 = '<option value="'.$font.'.TTF">'.$font.'</option>';
	} 
	}
   closedir($handle);
$contentform5 = $contentform6.'</select><br>
	<P><strong>Text Line 1:</strong><br>
	<input type="text" name="string" size=35><br>
	<P><strong>Text Line 2:</strong><br>
	<input type="text" name="string2" size=35>
	<P><input type="submit" name="submit" value="Create Image!">
	</FORM><br>';
$page->replace_tags(array(
"{content}" => $contentform.$contentform3.$contentform2.$contentform5
));

Any Help is greatly appreciated

Instead of
while (false !== ($font = readdir($handle))) {
Try
foreach (readdir($handle) as $font) {

Doesn't work, it now comes up with nothing.

your original coding looks ok (I use the same coding on a script I developed. Can you check what the date is of the file that is found, check and see if it is the earliest. If it is it could be that the server database is not updated (remember reading something like that in the manual)

 

[Kadenz]

It works fine in other scripts I made, however it doesn't work in this particular script.

 

[Dan]

Maybe replace
while (false !== ($font = readdir($handle))) {
with
while (($font = readdir($handle)) !== false) {

 

[Kadenz]

It makes no difference, still only one showing up.

I just went to PHP.net because I've never done this before and it seems like you have it right..

if ($handle = opendir('/path/to/files')) {
   echo "Directory handle: $handle\n";
   echo "Files:\n";

   while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle))) {
       echo "$file\n";
   }

   closedir($handle);

}

That is the correct example.. so I'm not sure why it doesn't work.

might wanna try glob
I've used it, if i find an example i'll post it.

in the meantime :

try taking out the str_replace lines and see if will then return the ENTIRE content. Possibly these are what are causing the problem.

No the str_replace is not the problem, it just now shows Thumbsdb for selection not anything else, I think the problem is that I am trying to run PHP within an array, it possible to run it directly like this:

$page->replace_tags(array(
"{content}" => echo '<FORM method="POST" action="index.php?p=sigout">
	<strong>Signature Template:</strong><br>
	<select name=image>';
$handle2 = opendir('templates');
   while (false !== ($image = readdir($handle2))) {
   $image = str_replace('.', '' ,$image);
   $image = str_replace('png', '' ,$image);
   $image = str_replace('indexphp', '', $image);
   $image = str_replace('Thumbsdb', '', $image);
   if ($image != '') {
    echo  '<option value="'.$image.'.png">'.$image.'</option>';
}
   }
  closedir($handle2);
echo  '</select>
	<br>
	<P><strong>Font:</strong><br>
	<select name=font>';
$handle = opendir('fonts');
   while (false !== ($font = readdir($handle))) {
   $font = str_replace('.', '' ,$font);
   $font = str_replace('ttf', '' ,$font);
   $font = str_replace('TTF', '' ,$font);
   $font = str_replace('indexphp', '', $font);
   $font = str_replace('Thumbsdb', '', $font);
       if ($font != '') {
    echo '<option value="'.$font.'.TTF">'.$font.'</option>';
	} 
	}
   closedir($handle);
echo '</select><br>
	<P><strong>Text Line 1:</strong><br>
	<input type="text" name="string" size=35><br>
	<P><strong>Text Line 2:</strong><br>
	<input type="text" name="string2" size=35>
	<P><input type="submit" name="submit" value="Create Image!">
	</FORM><br>';
));

or something close to that?
