Help with script

[Anon]

Hi, this script is suppose to read a directory and display the files in descending order with a limit of 20 files shown.
For some reason, it displays a blank page. Can someone please help me fixer up.

thanx

<?php
$handle=opendir('.');
while (false!=($file = readdir($handle)))
{
if ($file != "." && $file != ".." && ereg(".xml",$file))
{
$file_array[$file]= fileatime($file); //STORING
}
}
closedir($handle);
arsort($file_array, SORT_NUMERIC); //sort file array based on timestamp in descending order.
reset($file_array);
$i =0;
foreach($file_array,$item)
{
if($i < 20)
print $item;
$i++;
}
?>

You were using foreach() wrong. It's correct above.

I made the changes....but it still gives me a blank screen.

when I simplify the script to something like :
<?php
$handle=opendir('.');
while (false!==($file = readdir($handle))) {
if ($file != "." && $file != ".." && ereg(".xml",$file)) {
echo "$file\n";
echo "<br>";
}
}
closedir($handle);
?>

It works fine, but this doesn't list the files in descending order and doesn't limit to 20 files.

Then something isn't doing what you think it's doing. You should print out what is in your array at every stage. So that you can find out where it's breaking.
