Need help with an array

[den68]

Ok back story, this is for a site that will allow people to make recordings of themselves sing.

 

The recorder places files into a local folder but pulls the files in an odd way, I would like the files to be pulled by creation time. I am running on a linux server. This is my code can someone help me figure out how to create an array to pull by creation time rather than the way it is sorting?

 

<?php
include("header.php");
include("inc.php");

if (($rec=$_GET['delete'])&&$delete_from)
{
echo "Deleting $rec ...";
if (file_exists($file = $delete_from . $rec  . ".flv")) unlink($file);
if (file_exists($file = $delete_from . $rec  . ".key")) unlink($file);
if (file_exists($file = $delete_from . $rec  . ".meta")) unlink($file);
if (file_exists($file = "recordings/" . $rec  . ".vwr")) unlink($file);
}
?>
<div class="info">
<b>Video Recordings</b> / <a href="index.php">Record New Video</a><br />

<?php
$dir="recordings";
$handle=opendir($dir);
while (($file = readdir($handle))!==false)
if ((substr($file,-3)=="vwr") && (!is_dir("$dir/".$file)))
{
$vid=substr($file,0,-4);
  $params=explode(";;;",implode(file("$dir/".$file)));
  if (count($params))
  {
  $ts=$params[2];
  $tm=floor($ts/60);
  $ts=$params[2]-$tm*60;
  $info=$params[0]." ($tm:$ts)";
  }
echo "<a href='streamplay.php?vid=$vid'><IMG WIDTH='240' TITLE='$info' ALT='$info' BORDER=5 SRC='".(file_exists("snapshots/$vid.jpg")?"snapshots/$vid.jpg":"snapshots/no_video.png")."'></a> ";
}
?>
</div>

Yeah I couldnt figure it out either, seems like it would be simople to sort by created date.

On most Linux systems, you can not get the creation date/time for a file, since it is not stored. You can get the date it was last modified. If you want to do a sort on that time, you can do something like:

<?php
$files = glob('path/to/files/*');
$tmp = array();
foreach($files as $file) {
   $tmp[filemtime($file)] = $file;
}
ksort($tmp);
foreach ($tmp as $modtime => $file) {
    echo $file . ' ---> ' . date('F d Y H:i:s',$modtime) . '<br>';
}
?>
