Hello.

How can I list the contents of a directory using PHP?
I would like the newer files to be shown first.

I have searched google and found this: http://webxadmin.free.fr/article/php-dir-list-and-sort-by-date-209.php
However, I cant get it working...

I set it to list the root ( / ) however, all I get is an empty page.


Thanks!

Edit: I forgot to say, that I'm using PHP 5.0.4

Well if its not your server, you probably don't have root access, thats why it doesn't work.  Try listing a folder you have access to and see if that works.

Well, I'm hosted by dt...
However, Im not really sure what directory I should pass to list....

if its current directory you want to list its ./ not /

Just tried, still empty page

Well, that code alone doesn't output anything... you need to handle that yourself...

tried print_r($Files); ¬¬

that code is just to get the array

edit: WDZ

Now i get an output, but it looks weird
Something like this:

quote:

---

Array ( [0] => Array ( [0] => ./mediaplayer.php [1] => 1137315439 )

---

I guess I will have to loop through the arrays and echo(); them?

yes

Some example code...

code:

---

echo "<ul>\r\n";
foreach($Files as $file) {
    $file_path = $file[0];
    $file_name = basename($file_path);
    $last_modified = $file[1];
    $last_modified_str = date('Y-m-d H:i:s', $last_modified);
    echo "<li>$last_modified_str $file_name</li>\r\n";
}
echo "</ul>";
