displaying files

[Nandini]

Hi

I am displaying files from on directory. Everything working. But i want to display latest added records as first record (Last come first in order). Here is my script .

 

<?php

$path="/usr/local/netz/var/spool/netz/fax/";

if($path)

{

if(`ls -A $path`)

{

$i=1;

$TrackDir=opendir($path);

while ($file = readdir($TrackDir)) {

if ($file == "." || $file == "..") {

}

elseif(preg_match('/\b.pdf\b/', $file)) {

echo "<tr bgcolor='#acbdee'>";

echo "<td class='data' width='10%'>$i</td>";

echo "<td class='data' width='30%'>".$file."</td>";

echo '<td class="data" width="30%" align="center"><table border="0" width="50%"><tr><td align="right"><font face=\"Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif\"><a href="fax_download.php?download_file='.$file.'" class="fax_links" title="Download"><img src="../images/download.gif" border="0"></a></font></td><td align="right"><a href="delete_fax.php?file='.$file.'" class="fax_links" title="Delete"><img src="../images/delete.gif" border="0"></a></td></tr></table></td>';

echo "<tr>";

$i++;

}

}

closedir($TrackDir);

}

else {

echo "<br><center><b>No records found</b></center>";

}

}

?>

 

Can anyone help me

You'd need to get the modification time or something using a function like filemtime() then add them into an array then sort that array and display the files.

When file modified wecan get filetime by using filemtime. But when file add how can we get time.

[ghostdog74]

why do you need to call the shell's ls command?

anyway, here's another way

$path = realpath('/path/test');
$objects = new DirectoryIterator($path);
foreach($objects as $name => $object){
     if ( $objects->isFile($name) && substr($object,-4,4 )==".txt" ) {
       $records[$object->getMTime()]=$object->getFileName();;
     }
}
ksort($records);
print_r($records);

You can't get the creation time of a file as far as I know. filemtime() should be able to give you the time of the files creation anyway. Try it, it can't hurt.
