you might wanna read up on opendir(), readdir() and closedir() for comparison you could take a look at my implementation as a C-program

Here's something I used for a quick equivalent of unix's find.

PHP Code:

function scanDir2($workdir, $startdir) {
  $workdir = "$startdir/$workdir";
  echo("<UL>\n");
  $DIR = opendir("$workdir");
  while($tmpname = readdir($DIR)) {
  if (preg_match('/^\.+/', $tmpname) == true) {
    next;
   }
   elseif (is_dir("$workdir/$tmpname")) {
     echo("<LI>\n"); 
     scanDir2("$wordir$tmpname", $workdir);
     echo("</LI>\n");
    }
   else {
     echo("<LI>$tmpname</LI>\n");
   }
  }
  closedir($DIR);
  echo("</UL>\n");
} 


At the end you get a bunch of nested unordered lists. You would have to change this to selects and full paths insead of nested lists but the principle is the same.
