How can JavaScript be integrated with PHP to create dynamic dropdown menus for directory navigation?

To create dynamic dropdown menus for directory navigation, JavaScript can be integrated with PHP by using AJAX to fetch directory contents and populate the dropdown menus dynamically based on user selection. This allows for a smoother and more interactive user experience when navigating through directories on a website. 

<?php
// PHP code to fetch directory contents
$directory = "path/to/directory";
$files = scandir($directory);

echo '<select id="directoryDropdown">';
foreach ($files as $file) {
    if ($file != '.' && $file != '..') {
        echo '<option value="' . $file . '">' . $file . '</option>';
    }
}
echo '</select>';
?>
