PHP Sort directory contents by date

Comment:
I am using the following PHP script to list the contents on a folder called "minutes."

<?php
if ($handle = opendir('./minutes/')) {
while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle)))
{
if ($file != "." && $file != "..")
{
$thelist .= ''.$file.'
';
}
}
closedir($handle);
}
?>

Is there a simple way to have the list that is returned sorted by the date the file was modified?

Here is a solution that, based on the archaic PHP3-style example code, is most likely better than what the OP came up with. ;)


// Grab all files from the desired folder
$files = glob( './minutes/*.*' );

// Sort files by modified time, latest to earliest
// Use SORT_ASC in place of SORT_DESC for earliest to latest
array_multisort(
array_map( 'filemtime', $files ),
SORT_NUMERIC,
SORT_DESC,
$files
);

// do whatever you want with $files
print_r( $files );
