Putting files in order of date

[opixz]

I'm having a bit of trouble trying to print all the files in a directory in order of their date (newest at the top). Does anyone have an idea how to do this?

Thanks in advance.

I would loop through the directory, reading the files into an array and then sorting the array by date.

<?
$files = array();
$dir = opendir($dirPath);
while ($fileName = readDir($dir)) {
$fileInfo = stat($fileName);
$lastModified = $fileInfo[9];
/
see directory info for "stat()" for more info.
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.stat.php
/
$files[$lastModified] = $fileName;
}
// sort file array
$sorted = ksort($files);

// loop through and display files
// i assume you know how to do this
?>
You might have to change the the info you get from stat but this should atleast give you someplace to start.

So would I, and here's what I came up with. Same, but diffrent. Heh.

$path = ".";

$dir = opendir($path);
while(($item = readdir($dir)) !== false) {
$stamp = filectime($path . "/" . $item);
$list[] = array($stamp, $item);
}
closedir($dir);

rsort($list);
foreach($list as $value) {
print "$value[1] - " . date("Y-m-d H:i:s", $value[0]) . "\n";
}
