[SOLVED] Trouble alphabetizing directory list

[ScopeXL]

Hello, I am new to PHP Freaks and this looks like a great place to seek help. I currently have a script that lists the folders from a directory in FTP (viewable at: http://webbot.bnetweb.org) I would like to order that list alphabetically by the column UserID (the UserID listed is the folder name). My current code only displays the folders retrieved in the order it gets them, not alphabetically. Can someone please tell me how to go about alphabetizing this list by the folder name or edit my code so it may do so? This will be much appreciated, thank you.

 

<?php
      // Your start directory
      getDirectory('.');
       
      function getDirectory( $path = '.', $level = 0 )
      {
        // Directories to ignore when listing output. 
        $ignore = array( '.', '..', 'images', 'icons', 'cgi-bin', '_private', '_vti_bin', '_vti_cnf', '_vti_log', '_vti_pvt', '_vti_txt' );
       
        // Open the directory to the handle $dh
        $dh = @opendir( $path );

        // Loop through the directory
        while( false !== ( $file = readdir( $dh ) ) ) 
        {
           // Check that this file is not to be ignored
           if( !in_array( $file, $ignore ) )
           {  
              // Indent spacing for better view
              $spaces = str_repeat( ' ', ( $level * 5 ) );
              // Show directories only
              if(is_dir( "$path/$file" ) )
              {
                 // Re-call this same function but on a new directory.   
                 // this is what makes function recursive.                           
							 echo "$spaces<tr><td><a href='$path/$file/'>$file</a></td><td><iframe SRC='$path/$file/cc.php' WIDTH=220 HEIGHT=20 FRAMEBORDER=0 SCROLLING=NO></iframe></td><td><iframe SRC='$path/$file/onserver.php' WIDTH=220 HEIGHT=20 FRAMEBORDER=0 SCROLLING=NO></iframe></td></tr>";
                 getDirectory( "$path/$file", ($level+1) );
              }
           }
        }
        // Close the directory handle   
        closedir( $dh );
      }
      ?>

Hi there!

 

Instead of printing the results right away, why not storing them in an array? You can then sort it and print it.

I'm not quite sure how to place them in an array, I'm fairly new to PHP programming and am still figuring out a bunch of new things. If you would be kind enough to show me or give me an example that would be fantastic.

I followed the link from your first post and it seems that you have sorted it out?

yes, thank you
