Sorting with a Glob Function

[Rineru]

I'm using this script:

 

<?php
foreach(glob('*.swf') as $fn){
$t = str_replace("_","", $fn);
     echo '     <a href="' . $fn . '">' . ucfirst(substr($t, 0, -4)) . "</a><br>";
}
?>

 

 

To create a list of games, well it works.  GREAT... except one thing

 

I thought it would alphabetize the games automatically, it kinda does.

 

I want the script to do it, completely.

what about this

<?php
$file = array();
foreach(glob('*.swf') as $fn)
{
$file[] = $fn;
}
sort($file);
foreach($file as $f)
{
$t = str_replace("_","", $f);
echo '     <a href="' . $f . '">' . ucfirst(substr($t, 0, -4)) . "</a><br>";
}
?>

 

Not prefect.. but works.. i rarely use glob..

I tried it, and still there is like 3 different alphabetized.  Look here:  http://www.ayudeg.com/games

 

Don't really expect to see anything good.

Based off php.net

<?php

$_foo ='/server/public_html/path/';

function s_glob($dir){
$files = array();
if(is_dir($dir)){
    if($dh=opendir($dir)){
    while(($file = readdir($dh)) !== false){
        $files[]=$dir.$file;
    }}
}
return $files;
}

print_r(s_glob($_foo));

?>

is going to be faster than using the glob function.

The quickness isn't my problem, That script works fine, but doesn't alphabetize all the output completely.  And I tried that and all that appears is: "Array ()."

[MadTechie]

but doesn't alphabetize all the output completely.

it looks like your running it on more than one folder..

 

as for businessman332211(php.net), function.. yes it returns an array..

 

your just need to add something like this to the returned data

sort($files);
foreach($files as $f)
{
$t = str_replace("_","", $f);
echo '     <a href="' . $f . '">' . ucfirst(substr($t, 0, -4)) . "</a><br>";
}
?>

That didn't work too, All I want is in the first code, sorted...  MadTechie,  If you truly want to help me, PM me please.

Here is a sort function from php.net

 

<?php

 

$fruits = array("lemon", "orange", "banana", "apple");

sort($fruits);

reset($fruits);

while (list($key, $val) = each($fruits)) {

    echo "fruits[" . $key . "] = " . $val . "\n";

}

 

?>

I'm using the Glob function, not an array.  If you can tell me how to array files from a file list with no file extension and sorted, plus uppercase words.  I'll do it.

glob function returns an array. should be sortable. i don't see results on the page linked.

I fixed it, I was trying another script.
