sort directories by date

[newb]

hi, how can i put these results into an array and sort by the $date variable?

 

$dir = "/home/public_html";	
$count = 0;

if ($handle = opendir("$dir")) {
	while (($file = readdir($handle)) !== false) {
	$date = date("F d Y H:i:s.",filemtime("$dir/$file"));
	$file = str_replace('www.domain.com', '', $file); 
	if (preg_match("/.domain.com/i",$file)) {
	$file = substr($file, 4);  
	$count = $count + 1;
	echo "$count. <a href='http://$file'>$file</a> - $date<br />";
	}
	}
closedir($handle);	
echo "<br /><br />$count";
}

Like this?

 

<?php
$files = array();

foreach (new DirectoryIterator('/some/path') as $file) {
if ($file->isDir()) continue;

$files[] = array(
	'name' => $file->getFilename(),
	'changed' => $file->getMTime(),
);
}

$count = count($files);

usort($files, create_function('$a,$b', 'return $a["changed"] < $b["changed"];'));

 

If you use PHP 5.3 you can replace the last line with

usort($files, function ($a, $b) {
return $a['changed'] < $b['changed'];
});

Have you gone through the array Files and outputted?

[newb]

when i add print_r($files); or echo $files it outputs Array ()

ok im using this code:

$dir = "/var/www/";
$count = 0;	

if ($handle = opendir("$dir")) {
	while (($file = readdir($handle)) !== false) {
	$date = date("F d Y H:i:s.",filemtime("$dir/$file"));

	$file = str_replace('www.domain.com', '', $file); 
		if (preg_match("/.domain.com/i",$file)) {
		$file = substr($file, 4);  
		$count = $count + 1;

		$files = array();
		$files[0] = $file;
		$files[1] = $date;

usort($files, function ($a, $b) {
return $a[1] > $b[1];
});

		echo "$count. <a href='http://$file'>$files[0]</a> - $files[1]<br />";
		}
	}

closedir($handle);
echo "<br /><br />$count";

}

 

but it doesnt sort the results by the date, just flips the date inplace of where the domain.com links were at....
