Hi there,
need some help here! got this code
Code: Select all
<?php
$path = "My Path";
$browserpath = "/uploads";
$files = "<ul>\n";
$dir = opendir($path);
while($file = readdir($dir)) {
if(($file != ".") && ($file != "..")) {
$files .= "\t<li><a href=\"$browserpath/$file\">$file</a></li>\n";
}
}
closedir($dir);
?>
<font face="Verdana" size="4">Files in <?=$browserdir?>:
<?=$files
?>
</font>
what it does you all probably know, it just displays the files that are in the path above on the web page.... but what i need it to do is just the same but in alphabetical order, can someone help me ?
Thx,
Elaine

Why don't you put the filenames in a array instead of attaching them to a string, then use array_sort() on them. Then you can loop through them when it comes to outputting them?

Code: Select all
$files = array();
$dir = opendir($path);
$i=0;
while($file = readdir($dir)) {
if(($file != ".") && ($file != "..")) {
$files[$i]=$file;
$i++;
}
}
$files=sort($files,SORT_STRING);
$b=sizeof($files);
for($i=0;$i<$b;$i++)
echo $files[$i]; //Adjust to do what you want. At the moment it will print out the filenames in order.
Cheers,
Darkzaelus.

++arborint
glob() will
always sort filenames, unless you specify the
GLOB_NOSORT - Return files as they appear in the directory (no sorting)
flag ...
