sorting while loops

[tanveer91]

Hi all,

Can someone please tell me how i can display contents of a directory in date order? (ie. earliest dates & onwards). Here's my code:

$handle=opendir('results');
while (($file = readdir($handle))!==false) {
if ( $file >= $date) {
include("results/$file"
}
}
closedir($handle);

try this:

$handle=opendir('results');
$array=array();
while (($file = readdir($handle))!==false) {
$array[$file]=date("Y-m-d h:i:s",filectime("results/$file&quot);


}
asort($array,SORT_STRING);

closedir($handle);

Thanks for the advice 'Anikin'.....sorry i forgot to include one more point, the files are already saved in date format '020220' so i won't need to get system date to sort it.

The problem is it seems to display the files in random order, and i would like to sort it from todays date and onwards.

Cheers

$handle=opendir('results');
$array=array();
while (($array[] = readdir($handle))!==false) {
}
asort($array,SORT_STRING); // for earlier to today or
arsort($array,SORT_STRING); // for today to earlier dates

closedir($handle);

i hope this will help you out

Hi Anikin, tried the above method but it displayed php code on web browser!:

= $date) { print (" " include("results/$array[]" print ("
" } } arsort($array,SORT_STRING); //for today to earlier dates closedir($handle); ?>


here's my code:

$date = date("dmy"
$handle=opendir('results');
$array=array();
while (($array[] = readdir($handle))!==false) {
if ( $array[] >= $date) {
include("results/$file"
}
}
arsort($array,SORT_STRING); //for today to earlier dates
closedir($handle);

Thanks for ur help...

Just a question are you interested in including files in order? if so read all the names to the array and then walk the array including all files.


$handle=opendir('results');
$array=array();
while (($array[]= readdir($handle))!==false); // i presume you don't have future dates so you can read everything
arsort($array,SORT_STRING); //sort the filenames
closedir($handle);

while(list(,$value)=each($array)){
include("results/$value"
}

as simple as this.

If shows code in the output is something wrong like you are closing PHP code in the wrong place.
