Dirs and Files

[The Hobo]

I'm running this code:

if ($handle = opendir('/home/vbshelf/public_html')) {
    $d = 0; $f = 0;
    while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle))) {
        if ($file != "." && $file != "..") {
            if (is_dir($file)) {
                $dirs[$d] = $file;
                $d = $d + 1;
            } else {
                $files[$f] = $file;
                $f = $f + 1;
            }
        }
    }
    
    closedir($handle);
    sort($dirs);
    sort($files);
    for ($i = 0; $i < count($dirs); $i++) {
        echo "<b>" . $dirs[$i] . "</b><br>\n";
    }
    for ($i = 0; $i < count($files); $i++) {
        echo $files[$i] . "<br>\n";
    }
} 

This is the only thing I could come up with to sort the directories and files in alphabetical order. Is this the best way to do it, or is there an easier approach?

Here's my script that I use for my avatars on TT...it just happens to show stuff in alpha order for some reason. I was teh major PHP n00b at the time so ignore the stupidities:

<?
$basename = basename($PATH_TRANSLATED); 
$windowtitle = ereg_replace("$basename", "", $PATH_TRANSLATED);
$current_dir = $windowtitle;

include('/home/dh2255/header.php');

if ($current_dir != "/")
{
    echo "<font face=\"Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif\" size=\"2\"><a href=\"../\">
            Go up a directory</a></font><br><br>";
}
?>
<table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="6">
  <tr bgcolor="#000099"> 
    <td><b><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2" color="#FFFFFF">File 
      name</font></b></td>
    <td><b><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2" color="#FFFFFF">Size 
      (bytes)</font></b></td>
    <td><b><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2" color="#FFFFFF">Last 
      Modified</font></b></td>
  </tr>
  <?
  $bitflip = false;

$handle = opendir('.');

while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle)))
{ 
    $bitflip = !$bitflip;
    if ($bitflip)
    {
        echo "<tr>";
    }
    else
    {
        echo "<tr bgcolor=\"#EEEEEE\">";
    }
    
    if ($file != "." && $file != "..")
    {
        if (is_dir($file))
        {
            ?><td colspan="3"><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"><?
            echo "Directory: "<a href=\"$file/\">$file</a>";
            ?></font></td><?
        }
        else
        {
            ?><td><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"><?
            echo "<a href=\"$file\">$file</a>";
            
            if (eregi("gif$|png$|jpg$|bmp$|jpg$|jpeg$", $file))
            {
                echo ":<br><img src=\"$file\">";
            }

            ?></font></td>
            <td><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">
            <?
            echo filesize($file);
            ?>
            </font></td>
            <td><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">
            <?
            $filemod = filemtime($file);
            echo date("F j, Y h:i:s A", $filemod);
            ?></font></td><?
        }
    }
    ?></tr><?
} ?>
</table>
<?
include('/home/dh2255/footer.php');
?>

That doesn't do it in order for me for some reason?

His will not sort it. There is no algorithm for sorting in his.

The only thing you can really change is taking out the $d and $f and the incrementing of those values in the while loop. All you need is [] as that will add the value to the next array.
