sorting list in file directory

[networkthis]

I am having a difficult time alphabetically sorting the following code that I have written.  I have tried to make this into an array and then sort it but everytime I try I come up empty...any help would be greatly appreciated.  I can get a basic file list to sort alphabetically but for some reason this is killing me. Thanks...

 

<?php
function showFolder($path){

# Open the Directory Path
if ($handle = opendir($path))
   	{

while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle)))
    {
  			#*****************************************#
		# Remove Files that are named . , .. and  #
		# any others we wish to add that we don't # 
		# want displayed in the main directory.   #
		#*****************************************#

		if ($file != "." && $file != "..")
            {
			# Fname will be used to simply copy the Actual Name of the File!!!
			$fName = $file;

			# Create the path for the file
			$file = $path.'/'.$file;


			#*****************************************#
			# Simply checks to see if the $file is    #
			# actually a DIRECTORY.  If it is display #
			# the following.                          #
			#*****************************************#
			if (is_dir($file)) {
		    print "<tr><td colspan='2'><img src='../style/dir2.gif' width='16' height='16' 
			alt='dir'/> <a href='".$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']."?path=$file'>$fName</a></td></tr>";
                }
	}
	}

       closedir($handle);
   	}	

}
?>

You probably want to look at the glob() function, which returns the files in an array sorted already.

is there another way this can be done such as turning the files into an array and simply using php sort

Why go through all the hassle when glob() does it for you?

I am just familiar with using them as an array then using a foreach loop and sorting....... I wrote the above slightly different and just had all my code finished with outputing on the pages as I wished minus the alphabeticall part.......... 

 

I have never even heard of the glob() function but I guess I will be checking it out on php.net now to see what it does and how it works.

foreach (glob('*') as $filename) {

}

And if you want only directories:

foreach (glob('*', GLOB_ONLYDIR) as $filename) {

}
