Include directory reverse order

EricTRocks

I know someone helped me with the including all files in a directory, but the problem i have is that i need them to be listing on the actual page in reverse order.... here is the script i'm using to include the files, if anyone can help, it'd be appreciated...

<?php

$path = "files/"; // select path
$cont = @opendir($path);
if (!$cont) {
print "Directory '$path' doesn't exist<br>";
} else {
while ($file = readdir($cont)) {
if ($file != "." && $file != "..") {
if ($path == ".") {
include($file);
} else {
include($path."/".$file);
}
}
}
closedir($cont);
}
?>

put the files to be included in an array than you can include them reverse order.

<?php
$files = array( );
$path = "files/"; // select path
$cont = @opendir($path);
if (!$cont) {
print "Directory '$path' doesn't exist<br>";
} else {
while ($file = readdir($cont)) {
if ($file != "." && $file != "..") {
if ($path == ".") {
$files[ ] = $file;
} else {
$files[ ] = $path."/".$file;
}
}
}
closedir($cont);
$files = array_reverse( $files, true );
foreach( $files as $file ) {
include( $file );
}
}
?>

So how exactly would i do that?

I am a semi-experienced newbie to php. Not sure how to do the array tag. What the script is actually doing is listing all my news postings. each posting is a seperate .txt file.
