How about:

PHP Code:


			
foreach(glob('../categories/*', GLOB_ONLYDIR) as $dir)

{

    $dir = basename($dir);

    echo '<option value="', $dir, '">', $dir, '</option>';

}

We use GLOB_ONLYDIR as in Wildhoney's example to grab the paths to directories within ../categories, then grab only the directory name (using basename()), before outputting the option HTML element.

Aside: Note the use of commas to separate expressions for the echo statement, rather than concatenating to a string.
