order file by last mod

[punkrazio]

Hi all
i've got a directory where php creates a txt file every time someone update his stock.

i create file txt like this:

customer-last-update-stock-05-06-2008---10-29-42.txt

i read the files in the directory with this script:

PHP Code:

if ($handle = opendir('/web/htdocs/directory/home/customer/update_stock/')) {
    while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle))) { 
        if ($file != "." && $file != "..") { 
            echo "<a href=\"../customer/update_stock/$file\" target=\"_blank\">$file</a><br>\n"; 
        } 
    }
    closedir($handle); 
} 


now my question is..

how can i order and print the files by last mod time??
there is any way?

hope you can help

bye bye

use 'ls -t' or 'ls -tr'

Yuk! Why not put this sort of stuff on a small database table?

its useless put everything so small in a database
anyway i have found the solution for every one who need it:

$arrayfile = Array();
function ordina($file1,$file2)
{
$tempo1 = filectime($file1);
$tempo2 = filectime($file2);
return ($tempo1 < $tempo2) ? 1 : -1;
}
if ($handle = opendir('/web/htdocs/domain/home/customer/update_stock/'))
{
while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle)))
{
if ($file != "." && $file != "..") {
$arrayfile[]='../customer/update_stock/'.$file;
}
}
closedir($handle);
usort($arrayfile,'ordina');
//print_r($arrayfile);
foreach($arrayfile as $txt)
{
echo "<a href=\"$txt\" target=\"_blank\">".str_replace("../customer/update_stock/","",$txt)."</a><br>\n";
}
}
clearstatcache();

I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree on that one.
