folder listing not sorted correctly

[chrislive]

Hi everyone,

Just discovered a bug in my coding and not sure how to resolve it off the top of my head. The thing is I have used this function extensively so I dont want to be making too many changes to it if possible. So i have a loop that gives me $file... how do I sort that? my code goes into a folder, prints the results but the order is all wrong. I guess it is sort non-alphabetically.

this is my code:

<?php

$path = "./mydir/"; // even "."
if ($dir = @opendir($path)) {
while (($file = readdir($dir)) !== false) {
if ($file=='.' || $file=='..' || $file=='_vti_cnf') continue;
if (is_dir($path."/".$file)) {


echo "$file<br>";

	}
}
}
?>

this is my results:

vcd
vav
hdld
jtc
rd001
utt
ad
iris
fd
bargrille
backdraft
floorbargrill
lighttroffer
fb
fl
ddg

any help would be muchly appreciated...

Thanks
Chris

You could easily put the file names into an array and then sort.

i.e.

<?php

$files = array(); 
$path = "./mydir/"; // even "."
if ($dir = @opendir($path)) {
while (($file = readdir($dir)) !== false) {
if ($file=='.' || $file=='..' || $file=='_vti_cnf') continue;
if (is_dir($path."/".$file)) {

$files[] = $file;

    }
}
}

sort($files);

foreach ($files as $key => $filename)
{
   echo($filename.'<br />');
}
?>
