display file-names in alphabetical order

[Anon]

Hey,

I\'ve got a directory which contains a lot of files. Now I want to display the names of all the files that start with the letter A (or a) in alphabetical order. How do I do this?

Thanx, Michiel

uhm... read it and buffer it in an array then sort the array and display it...
uhm... slow... any other idea?

That's the only way I can think of. Here a code of mine that does it.

$path = "/path/to/file/directory/";
chdir($path);
$main = opendir($path);

while($file = readdir($main)) {
$file_array[]=$file;
}

sort($file_array);

for($arrayLoop=0;$arrayLoop <= count($file_array);$arrayLoop++){
echo"$file_array[$arrayLoop]\n";
}
