Question

How would I list all the files and folders in a folder alphabetically with PHP?

I used the following for the files a.txt, b.txt, c, and d.txt, Where c is a folder. The problem is that c is displayed last instead of after b.txt because it is a folder.

I’d also like to be able to check if each is either a file or folder.

<?php
    $dir = opendir ("folders");
    while (false !== ($file = readdir($dir))) {
        echo "$file <br />";
    }
?>

The power of glob() is here to help you. Just do:

$dir = glob("folders/*");
