    This snippet will list files in drop down menu, truncate the file extension and capitalize the first letter of the file. I use it on my "theme changer" script but is useful if you want to only list the files in a directory and not its subdirectory.

    /*
    ABOUT:
    This snippet will list all the files in the directory of your
    choice, truncate the file extension, capitalize the first letter and
    put it all in a drop down menu. The script will not list subdirectories so
    all you see are the files in your directory.

    Feel free to use or modify to your liking.

    USAGE:
    Change the $dirpath variable the directory you want to list.

    NEW! A Layered approach to delivering security-rich Web applications

    As businesses grow increasingly dependent upon Web applications to provide services to customers, employees and partners, these complex applications become more difficult to secure.
