church site using PHP

I'm developing a site for local churches, and I need to find a way to have a drop menu that will select the church and then the main navigation will switch to the subdirectory of that church. Is there a way to do this using PHP? I'm just starting to use PHP to develop websites.
The test site is located at WileyComputers.com .

Well you can use PHP to write out the data for the popup menu. Its quite easy to write a script that lists all the files/folders in a folder and then generates links or something like that for them.

PHP Code:


		
			
<?

$d = dir(".");

$exclude=array(".","..","index.php");

while (false !== ($entry = $d->read()))

 {

  if(in_array($entry,$exclude)==false)

   {

    echo '<a href="'.$entry.'">'.$entry.'</a><br>';

   }

 }

$d->close();

?>

That little script will list all files in the folder and make them links. It will not list itself or the . and .. folders.

Thanks! I haven't tried it out yet, but it looks like it should work for what I need it to do.

Andreas' code will give you a list of links. This should create a drop-down menu for you.

PHP Code:


		
			
<select name="churches" onChange=window.open(this.options[this.selectedIndex].value,"_top")>

<?

$d = dir(".");

$exclude=array(".","..","index.php");

while (false !== ($entry = $d->read()))

 {

  if(in_array($entry,$exclude)==false)

   {

    echo '<option value="'.$entry.'">'.$entry.'</option><br>';

   }

 }

$d->close();

?>

</select>

I've copied your php code andreas. Hope you don't mind
