Whatever order the OS decides to use. In practice, it's whatever is convenient for that particular file system. So FAT, NFTS, Reiser, ext2, ext3, and so on could all behave differently. For that matter, the OS could decide to randomize them, just for fun, if it wanted to. > And is there anyway to > force a > specific ordering to the directories before PHP searches down them? Not with just opendir/readdir. You could use exec() with "ls" to get them in various orders. You could walk through and make an array and then sort. -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
