Last 100 files.

How would I go about coding a php script that would give me that last 100 files in a folder? I need to read them to display some info

perhaps this may be a staring point

That is a good start, I understand what they are doing by putting the date in an array and then sorting the whole array. The reason I did not want to take that approach was because there could be thousands of files and I think that might be a performance problem. I was hoping of a more concise solution.

Use the scandir function:

is it feasible to put the file info in a database table? if so it would most likely be easier and faster to get the result you desire

[outlawstar223]

Unfortunately scandir will not work for my needs.

 

Regarding the database, unfortunately it was not implemented that way although that is the way it should have been implemented.

 

So it seems that the only way is going to have to put  the name and date in arrays and sort it that way. Please if anyone has another option I would be vert thankful.
