ordering file names

[Anon]

ok i have the following script:

while( $file = readdir( $directory ) )
{
$file_ar[] = $file;
}
while (list ($key, $file) = each ($file_ar))
{

(it's not all there for space sake)
what this does is list all the files in a directory. I need to order the file's by file name is this posible and if so how?

You mean you want to sort($file_ar);?

[Anon]

ya so like the file names are in order by name it's not doing it for some reason.

[Anon]

What is it doing?

Gumbler there already told you the solution - use sort($file_ar);

readdir() doesn't read ordered by alphabet - it reads ordered by created date.

to sort by filename completely (regardless of capitalization), i would suggest the following:

while($file = readdir($directory))
{
$sortString = strtolower($file);
$file_ar[$sortString] = $file;
}
ksort($file_ar);
while($list(,$file) = each($file_ar))
{
print("$file<br>\n");
}
