File creation time

In PHP, how to retrieve the files contained into a folder sorted by creation date (or any other sorting mechanism)?

According to the doc, the readdir() function:

The filenames are returned in the
order in which they are stored by the
filesystem.

Answer 1

save their information to an array, sort the array and then loop the array

if($h = opendir($dir)) {
  $files = array();
  while(($file = readdir($h) !== FALSE)
    $files[] = stat($file);

  // do the sort
  usort($files, 'your_sorting_function');

  // do something with the files
  foreach($files as $file) {
    echo htmlspecialchars($file);
  }
}
