How can i limit this to only showing the 5 most recent files into the directory, it shows all the files with the first one being most recent i just want the top 5, please help 🙁

<?
if ($dir = @opendir("animals"))
{
while (($file = readdir($dir)) !== false)
{
if($file != ".." && $file != "." && $file != "index.html")
{
$filelistan[] = $file;
}
}
closedir($dir);
}
?>
<?
krsort($filelistan);
while (list ($key, $val) = each ($filelistan))
{
echo "<a href='animals/$val'>$val</a><br>\n";
}
?>

🙁 🙁 🙁

for($i=0;$i<5;$i++){ 
echo "<a href='animals/$filelistan[$i]'>$filelistan[$i]</a><br>\n";
} 
?> 

it works but it keeps on looping the top 5, anyway to fix this

not sure what you mean, but
i meant for you to lose the "while..." loop and replace it with the "for...." loop, not to use them both.

ahh thanks, one lasy question, when i use krsort i noticed that some of the files were uploaded at the same time, would this throw off the krsort command? Is there anyway around it?
