sorting while results

[rvdb86]

hi, i have the following function that produces a list of files on the server.

It shows the filename, file size and the date the file was created.

Maybe some one could help me figure out how to sort these results by the previously mentioned parameters?

 

<?php                   
                    function ListFolder($path)
{
    //using the opendir function
    $dir_handle = @opendir($path) or die("Unable to open $path");
   
    //Leave only the lastest folder name
    $dirname = end(explode("/", $path));
   
    //display the target folder.
    //echo ("<li>$dirname\n");
    //echo "<ul>\n";
    while (false !== ($file = readdir($dir_handle)))
    {
        if($file!="." && $file!="..")
        {
            if (is_dir($path."/".$file))
            {
                //Display a list of sub folders.
                ListFolder($path."/".$file);
            }
            else
            {
		$size = filesize($path."/".$file);
		$sizemb = ($size / 1024)/1024;
		$sizemb = round($sizemb,2);
		$ext = substr($file, strrpos($file, '.') + 1);
		$temp_file = $string = substr($file, 0, -4);
		//DATE FILE WAS ADDED:
		$filedate = date ("d.m.y", filemtime($path."/".$file));

		$check = ($i % 2);
           

          if ($check == 1) {
                $bgcolor = "#FFFFFF";
                        }else{
         $bgcolor = "#eeeeee";
                        }

		//$type = filetype($path."/".$file);  // file
                //Display a list of files.
                echo "<tr bgcolor=\"$bgcolor\">";
			echo "<td>";
			echo "<img src=\"images/$ext.gif\" border=\"0\"  alt=\"\">";
			echo "</td>";
			echo "<td colspan=\"2\">";

			echo "$temp_file";
			echo "</td>";
			echo "<td>";
			echo $sizemb . "mb";
			echo "</td>";
			echo "<td>";
			echo $filedate;
			echo "</td>";
			echo "<td>";
			echo "<form method=\"post\" action=\"".$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']."\">";
			echo "<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"path\" value=\"".$path."/".$file."\">";
			echo "<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"delete_file\" value=\"1\">";
			echo "<input type=\"image\" src=\"images/Delete.png\" border=\"0\" alt=\"Delete File\" name=\"delete_file\" onClick=\"return confirmSubmit()\">";
			echo "</form>";
			echo "</td>";
			echo "</tr>";

            }
        }

	$i++;
    }
   
    //closing the directory
    closedir($dir_handle);

}
?>                   

 

Thanks in advance!

you should make an array of the files and thier info first than use array functions to sort the results

http://us.php.net/manual/en/book.array.php

then simply output using a foreach loop or something once you've sorted them...

[printf]

When do you want to sort, (in each directory) or just all the files at one time?

[rvdb86]

all the files, not using directories

[rvdb86]

am i on the right track here?

 

i changed my code as follows:

                    function ListFolder($path)
{
    //using the opendir function
    $dir_handle = @opendir($path) or die("Unable to open $path");
   
    //Leave only the lastest folder name
    $dirname = end(explode("/", $path));
   
    //display the target folder.
    //echo ("<li>$dirname\n");
    //echo "<ul>\n";
    while (false !== ($file = readdir($dir_handle)))
    {
        if($file!="." && $file!="..")
        {
            if (is_dir($path."/".$file))
            {
                //Display a list of sub folders.
                ListFolder($path."/".$file);
            }
            else
            {
		$size = filesize($path."/".$file);
		$sizemb = ($size / 1024)/1024;
		$sizemb = round($sizemb,2);
		$ext = substr($file, strrpos($file, '.') + 1);
		$temp_file = $string = substr($file, 0, -4);
		//DATE FILE WAS ADDED:
		$filedate = date ("d.m.y", filemtime($path."/".$file));

		$check = ($i % 2);
           

          if ($check == 1) {
                $bgcolor = "#FFFFFF";
                        }else{
         $bgcolor = "#eeeeee";
                        }

			$filename[$i] = $temp_file
			$filesize[$i] = $sizemb
			$filedate[$i] = $filedate

            }
        }

	$i++;
    }
   
    //closing the directory
    closedir($dir_handle);

}

 

how i just need some help with the script that would sort these arrays  ???
