zq29 Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 If you want someone to write this for you, let me or another mod know and your post will be moved to our freelancing forum. If you want to give it a go yourself, you could look up the following functions in the manual:glob() - To get the conents of a directory, loop through the output with a foreach() loop.filemtime() - To get the time/date that the file was last modified on.You can chuck all of the returned data into an array, sort it by the date/time and only use the first 10 keys.

pixy Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 ^ Check the PHP manual. You can download it at php.net and it has examples, how to use it, syntax, and user comments for ways they've used it. Very useful. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/14381-big-help-needed-possibly-someone-to-write-some-php-code/#findComment-57408 Share on other sites More sharing options...
