PHP List Directories by Date

gistfile1.aw

<?php
//This little PHP script is the most elegant way 
//I could find the list directories and 
//files with PHP and sort by date
//thanks to StackOverflow

$files = array();
$dir = new DirectoryIterator('.');

foreach ($dir as $fileinfo) {
   $files[$fileinfo->getMTime()] = $fileinfo->getFilename();
}

//krsort will sort in reverse order
krsort($files);

//just print out the file names
//excluding this file (named index.php and the dir "." )

foreach($files as $file){
        if ($file == "index.php" or $file == "." ){
        }else{
                print $file;
                print "</br>";
        }
}

Testing out how to do this, and noticed a bug. Simply if multiple files have the same modified date, only one get's listed.

I might be late to the party, it's a good starting point for me either way.

@Pretzel911 You are right.
For anyone else with this problem - simple fix for this is using multidimensional array.

Replace
$files[$fileinfo->getMTime()] = $fileinfo->getFilename();
with
$files[$fileinfo->getMTime()][] = $fileinfo->getFilename();

then we need to somehow flatten this array. I'm using Laravel with this so I have array_flatten helper function available, but with plain PHP it could be done by simple nested foreach like this

$array = []; foreach ($files as $group) { foreach ($group as $item) { $array[] = $item; } }

Not that short and elegant as original gist, but it works...
