Need to sort a literal array

[loganbest]

I have a bunch of PDF's, some of them having Uppercase first letters and some having lowercase first letters. Right now my code is alphabetizing all of the Uppercase first letters first then all of the lowercase. I want them to be mixed.

 

$dir = "../../forms/pdf/";
foreach(glob($dir.'*.pdf') as $pdf){
    $files[] = str_replace($dir, '', $pdf);
}

 

then:

<select name="current_pdf" id="current_pdf">
            <option value="">Please Select a PDF to replace</option>
            <?php
            foreach($files as $file) {
                echo "<option value=\"$file\">" . $file . "</option>";
            }
            ?>
            </select>

I've tried using that but I keep getting errors so I guess I'm putting it in the wrong place?

Cannot help with errors without seeing the code that produces the error and the error.

<?php 
$dir = "../../forms/pdf/";
foreach(glob($dir.'*.pdf') as $pdf){
    $files[] = str_replace($dir, '', $pdf);
}
$files = natcasesort($files);

?>

This does not populate the select box.

 

<?php 
$dir = "../../forms/pdf/";
foreach(glob($dir.'*.pdf') as $pdf){
    $files[] = str_replace($dir, '', $pdf);
}
$files[] = natcasesort($files[]);

?>

This produces this error:

Warning: natcasesort() [function.natcasesort]: The argument should be an array in /site_homes/www08/intra/pdf-upload/index2.php on line 6

sorts don't return an array they modify the existing one.  Here it is much shorter and probably faster:

 

$files = array_map('basename', glob("../../forms/pdf/*.pdf"));
natcasesort($files);

[AbraCadaver]

Also, I didn't even look at your error   $files[] is only used to create the next item in the array, you refer to the array with just $files not $files[].

Hell it was faster. Thanks!
