displaying latest modified files only

[add]

I have this script that displays the contents of a directory in date order of last modified, but (there is always a but) I only want to display the latest modified files, ie within the last 5 days.

How can i parse my array to disregard files with a date greater than 5 days from today?

I also want to disregard any folders in that directory listing too, but i'm working on that at the moment.

<?
			$handle = opendir ('my directory/');
			while (($filename = readdir ($handle)) !== false)
			{
				if ($filename != '..' && $filename != '.')
				{
					$file_array[$filename] = filemtime ($filename);
				}
			}
			arsort ($file_array);
			echo '
			<table border=0 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=2>
			<tr class="title">
				<td>Page name</td><td>Date updated</td>
			</tr>
			';
			foreach ($file_array as $key => $value)
			{
				echo '<tr><td><a href="' . $key . '" class="content">' . $key . '</td><td class="content">' . date ('d-m-Y h:i:s', $value) . '</td></tr>';
			}

		echo '
		</tr>
		</table>
		';
		?>

Well the simplest way would be to just add in a control variable to count how many iterations have been processed and then break from the loop when you hit your required limit, like so.

<?php
$handle = opendir ('my directory/');
while (($filename = readdir ($handle)) !== false)
{
    if ($filename != '..' && $filename != '.')
    {
        $file_array[$filename] = filemtime ($filename);
    }
}
arsort ($file_array);
echo '
<table border=0 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=2>
<tr class="title">
    <td>Page name</td><td>Date updated</td>
</tr>
';
$i=0;
foreach ($file_array as $key => $value)
{
    if($i<5) {
        echo '<tr><td><a href="' . $key . '" class="content">' . $key . '</td><td class="content">' . date ('d-m-Y h:i:s', $value) . '</td></tr>';
        $i++;
    } else {
        break;
    }
}

echo '
</tr>
</table>
';
?>

There's a niggling feeling in the back of my mind that there's a much tidier way of solving the problem though, I just can't think of it.

Sometimes the simplest things are those that trouble us!

Thanks TPunk, I can now slap my forehead, and utter the famous, "Doh!"
