<?php
$dirname = "../images/staff";
$dir = opendir($dirname);
echo '<select name="file2">';
echo '<option value="">none</option>';
while(false != ($file = readdir($dir)))
	{
		if(($file != ".") and ($file != ".."))
			{
					echo "<option value=".$file.">$file</option>";
			}
	}
				echo '</select>';
?>

$dirname = "../images/staff";
$dirname .= "../images/boarddirectors";
$dir = opendir($dirname);
	echo '<select name="file2">';
	echo '<option value="">none</option>';

$dirnames = array("../images/staff", "../images/boarddirectors");
echo '<select name="file2">';
echo '<option value="">none</option>';
foreach ($dirnames as $dirname)
{
  $dir = opendir($dirname);
  while(false != ($file = readdir($dir)))
  {
    if(($file != ".") and ($file != ".."))
    {  
      echo "<option value=".$file.">$file</option>";
    }
  }
}
echo '</select>';
