Reading out Files:

[Anon]

I am currently reading out files within certain folders and when they are read out, they are not in ascending order, but by the date they were uploaded in the first place.

Is there a line of code that I could put before: while ($file = readdir($handle)) so that the files will be sorted in ascending order.

thanks much

If you're putting the files into an array, then you can sort the array using asort()

Sorry, just use the sort() function.

is there any way to sort it within the folder, like you would see it with ftp(alphabetic)

thanks

[Anon]

Nope. Just sort the array - why don't you want to do that?

I guess I don't know how. The line of code"rewinddir($handle);" was my attempt at sorting it. I am using this code right now, any suggestions:

<?php
function directory()
{
$handle=opendir("/home/groupvertical/www/pellegirl/pdf/owspring/");
rewinddir($handle);
while ($file = readdir($handle))
{
if ($file == "." || $file == "..")
{ }
else
{
echo "-"; // makes the bulleted list
print "<a href=\"/pellegirl/pdf/owspring/$file\" target=\"_blank\">$file</a><br>\n";
}
}
closedir($handle);
}
?>
<?
echo directory();
?>
