reversing directory structure listing

[Jon7800]

The following code lists a directory structure, and the files within ieach directory. The directories are meeting dates (01-05-2004, 02-05-2004) It lists them starting with the lowest number (01-05-2004). I am trying to reverse the order, so that newest meetings are listed first. (07-05-2004, 06-05-2004) Is this possible to do using a script that reads directory structure? Any help is greatly appreciated!

Here is the code:

<?php

create_tree(".");
function create_tree($file_dir)
{
if ($handle = @opendir($file_dir))
{
$i=0;
while (false !== ($file = @readdir($handle)))
{
if ($file != "." && $file != ".." && $file != "list.php" && $file != "Judy Prep" && $file != "list.asp")
{
$list[$i]=$file;
$i++;
}
}
$dir_length = count($list);

            for($i=0;$i<$dir_length;$i++)


            {
                    if(strrpos($list[$i], ".") == FALSE)
                    {
                            echo "<br><b>".$list[$i]."</b>\n";

                            create_tree($file_dir."/".$list[$i]);
                    }
                    else
                    {

                            echo "<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=\"".MeetingInformation."/".$file_dir."/".$list[$i]." \" target=\"_blank\">".substr($list[$i],0,-4). "</a></b>\n";
                    }
            }
            echo "<br>";
            closedir($handle);
    }

}
?>

putting
$list = array_reverse($list);
after your while loop, above $dir_length =
will reverse the dirs, but it also reverses the order of the files, so it lists files in the dir's from z to a instead of a to z.

since you are using recursion to list the dirs and the files, i think it is not possible to only reverse the directory order and not the files.

btw, i see the line
if(strrpos($list[$i], ".") == FALSE) {
im guessing what you are doing there is checking if a . exists in the current item, its a file, otherwise its a directory. it may be easier to do
if (is_dir($list[$i]))
since sometimes directories have a . in them and its a little easier to understand what the line is doing.
