reading directory contents

[abbireddy]

Hi,

I am triing to write treeview component for PHP.
I am using dir to read the directory contents. But this brings the list in creating date order I want to read directories first then files in the directory.
e.g -> dir a is having
x, y, z directories
c,b,L are the files.
I want to read the list like.
x,y,z,c,bL order directories first , files next.

how can I do this ..please help me.

Thanking you all..

with Regards
venkat.

There's no easy way to do this. One way is to have 2 arrays, one for directories and one for files. When you read the files using readdir(), if it's a directory, add it to the directory array, if it's a file, add it to the file array. When you're done reading, sort each array, and then merge the 2 arrays into one.
