"readdir" ordered

[Anon]

Hi!

It would be really nice if somebody could help me with this question (I haven't found it in the archive) O🙂 I want to read all the files in a directory. I am using this:

$dh=opendir($directorio);
while ($fich=readdir($dh))
{ ... }

But doing this I can only access the files in the directory order. Do you know any way to read the files
of a directory ordered by the file date?

Thank you, and sorry about my english O:-) And greetings from the Costa del Sol!!! 😉

not sure of a short way but i know a way that you could do it.

first read all the files into an array, then take each filename and use this to get the time stamp of the file.what you can do is have the filename as the key and the value in the array can be the timestamp.

e.g $array=array("file.txt"=>"13.7.2000")

then just sort the array on the timestamp field using arsort($array)
