I'm looing for a way to sort the array returned by the GLOB function. I
would like to be able to sort the result by filemtime.
Any good ideas?
I think you can walk the array returned by glob and create a hash :
$arr=glob(..);
foreach($arr as $file){
// you can also write this like so, sometimes useful for keeping code
compact and minimizing variable usage:
foreach(glob(/* bla bla */) as $file) {
$stat=stat($file);
$mtime=$stat[mtime];
// don't forget to use quotes!:
$mtime=$stat['mtime'];
$new[$file]=$mtime;
}
Now you should have array like this :
foo.txt => 19879823
foo1.txt => 1987987998
Now you can use array_sort function to sort the new array.
array_multi_sort() is a slightly different way of doing the same thing,
sometimes handy when you need to be able to switch between different
sort orders:
$mFilesFound = glob(/* bla bla */);
foreach ($mFilesFound as $file) {
$mTimes[] = filemtime($file);
}
array_multisort($mTimes, SORT_DESC, $mFilesFound);
Good luck.
Thanks,
Mark
