Replacing enters

MrPickle · #1 (**permalink**) 02-03-2008, 08:20 AM

I am using this code to get all the files in a folder then display them:

PHP Code:

  foreach(glob("Guestbook/*.txt") as $filename) {
      require_once($filename);
}

The thing is, it displays the oldest files first, I want it to display the oldest files last, but how?

I edited my post but the title doesn't seem to of updated, sorry for it being not realted to title.

If memory serves, there isn't a way to get the files in an presorted order. Something like this should work though:

PHP Code:

  $file_array = array();
foreach(glob("Guestbook/*.txt") as $filename) {
      $file_array[] = $filename;
}
sort($file_array);
foreach ($file_array as $filename) {
  require_once($filename);
}

Nope, does exactly the same.

Well, not sure what to tell ou, then. It puts all the files into an array and then sorts the array before calling all the files in the order listed in the sorted array.

I was thinking;

Getting the amount of files in the folder, then store the first file in array[filecount] then the second filecount-1 etc etc then using a loop to go through each one 0-9.

You know what? I missed that you wanted them sorted by time -- I sorted them alphabetically for you. Try this code instead:

PHP Code:

  $file_array = array();
foreach(glob("Guestbook/*.txt") as $filename) {
      $file_array[filemtime($filename).sha1($filename)] = $filename;
}
sort($file_array);
foreach ($file_array as $filename) {
  require_once($filename);
}

Same again D:

Can you be more specific? What are the files you receive, what are their time stamps, what order are they included in? Just after sort($file_array); put a print_r($file_array) and provide the listing.

Be sure to remove any personally-identifiable stuff before answering.

Quote:

Array ( [0] => News/1.txt [1] => News/2.txt )

(I changed the folder)

I make a file containing the things I want to be put on the page and put it in the News folder. At the momment it is displaying the contents of the oldest files first, I want it to display the oldest ones last.

Ah, thanks for letting me know what's wrong.

Change

PHP Code:

  sort($file_array);

to

PHP Code:

  rsort($file_array);

to reverse the sort order.
