Two files may have the same modification time.

You are storing only ONE file for any given timestamp.

You could do something like this:

foreach($files as $file){
 $dirs[filemtime($file)][] = $file;
}

You will then have an ARRAY for each timestamp with all the files that
were modified at that time.

So you end up with a big useless array? How big is the chance that
there are 2 files modified at the same time? 0.00001? or is it
0.0000000001?
