How to sort results in my script

[mr_nabo]

Hi,

Hopefully some kind person can help me. I need to sort the results in the part marked 'SORT RESULTS NUMERICALLY?' in my script below.

The files in the directory are named like so: 090628-name-of-file.php so I want to show the latest dated file at the top of the results.

Can anyone help me add this functionality please?

Thanks,

osu

<?php 
// SHOW DIRECTORY CONTENTS IN BROWSER 
// Start list structure 
echo '<ul>'; 
  
// Define the full path to your folder from root 
$path = "/path here"; 
// Open the folder 
$dir_handle = @opendir($path) or die("Unable to open $path"); 
// Loop through the files 
while ($file = readdir($dir_handle)) { 
  
// CLEAN FILENAME 
// Strip file extension 
$title = substr_replace($file,"",-4); 
// Strip #*$!#*$!- date from beginning of filename 
$title = substr($title,7); 
// Replace '-' with spaces 
$title = str_replace("-"," ",$title); 
// Make it a teaser title 
$title = substr($title, 0, 50); 
// Finally, capitalise each word 
$title = ucwords($title); 
if($file == "." ¦¦ $file == ".." ¦¦ $file == "index.php" ) 
continue; 
// SORT RESULTS NUMERICALLY? 
echo '<li>'; 
echo "$title... <a href=\"$file\">read more</a><br />"; 
echo '</li>'; 
} 
// Close list structure 
echo '</ul>'; 
// Close directory 
closedir($dir_handle); 
?>

something like this perhaps will help you or give you an idea:

$mydir = dir($path);
while(($file3 = $mydir->read()) !== false)
{
$ext3=explode('.',$file3); // modify this part if your fileames can contain more than one dot
if($file3 != '.' && $file3 != '..' && $ext3[1] && $file3!="Thumbs.db")
{
$array_thumb[]=$file3;
}
}

if ($array_thumb!="")
{
sort($array_thumb); // this arranges your array

foreach ($array_thumb as $img)
{
// do what you like with your single file
}
}
