how about that:

<p> 
<FORM METHOD="post" ACTION="blank.php3"> 
   <SELECT NAME="files"> 

<?php
$dir = opendir("/home/web/b/bignickel.net/htdocs/");
while (false !== ($file = readdir($dir)) {
    if ($file == "." || $file == "..") {
        continue;
    }
    echo "<OPTION VALUE=\"$file\"> $file</OPTION>\n";
}
?> 

   </SELECT> 
   <INPUT TYPE="submit" NAME="submit" VALUE="select"> 
</FORM> 
</p> 

in your example there are two mistakes:
1. "while ($file = readdir($dir))" is wrong and should be "while (false !==
($file = readdir($dir))". (see php manual readdir)
2. "$file_count .="<OPTION VALUE=\"$file\"> $file</OPTION>";" is not inside
the loop,
    so you will only get the last $file and not all
(3. you probably do not need "." and ".." in your list, "." is a reference
to the same directory and ".." to the directory above the current one)
