Files sorted by date?

[Anon]

Hi!
Please, how do I get my pictures on a web page selected from the source directory sorted by date? I know this piece of code

<?php
$handle=opendir('.');
echo "Directory handle: $handle\n";
echo "Files:\n";
while (($file = readdir($handle))!==false) {
echo "$file\n";
}
closedir($handle);
?>

but it gives me the files in random(?) order.
Please help. If know how to sort files alphabeticaly add it to your email as well ;-)

readdir() lists the files as the accur on the filesystem, which looks random.

If you want to sort the filenames you could store them in an array,
then sort the array, and print it.

Exactly--and if you want to sort them by anything other than name, you just call stat() for each filename use the desired item (date, size, etc) as the key.
