"</a><br />\r\n"; } } closedir($dir_handle); This gives me a listing of some specific files, and works great. But I'd like to have them listed according to file name, (the current listing has no apparent order). What would be the best way to do this?

I'd tell it that it's sorting strings, though. (Look up the parameter yourself... I'm to lazy, and promised a tutorial later tonight that's yet to be written)

Greetings!

I'm using this:

code:

$path = ".";

$dir_handle = @opendir($path);

 

while ($file = readdir($dir_handle)) {

	if ((substr($file, -3) == "php")&&($file != "index.php")&&($file != "index2.php")&&($file != "000-00-0000.php")&&($file != "comments.php")){        

    echo "<a href=$path/$file>" . substr(basename($file), 0, 11) . "</a><br />\r\n";

	}

}  

closedir($dir_handle);

This gives me a listing of some specific files, and works great. But I'd like to have them listed according to file name, (the current listing has no apparent order). What would be the best way to do this?

Yep, that's just what I did.

code:

$path = ".";

$dir_handle = @opendir($path);

 

while ($file = readdir($dir_handle)) {

    $files[] = $file;

}  

closedir($dir_handle);

sort($files);

$i=0;

while ($i<count($files)){

	if ((substr($files[$i], -3) == "php")&&($files[$i] != "index.php")&&($files[$i] != "index2.php")&&($files[$i] != "000-00-0000.php")&&($files[$i] != "comments.php")){    

  	echo "<a href=$path/$files[$i]>" . $files[$i] . "</a><br />\n";

		$i++;

	}

}

I'm sure I'll clean it up a little, but this seems to work.
