php directory listing

[VHockey86]

First I'd like to mentioned that I know very little actual php... I've just been working/editing script that I've found online.

With that said, this is what I've been doing/attempting to do.

I wanted a simply way that I could upload/download files from my website without needing to bother with an FTP/client and such on other machines around campus (like the CS labs for example). Anyways, I found a php form upload script online which seems to work just fine. Now however, I wanted a way to be able to see all the files in a particular directory from the webbrowser.

Thats what I've managed to do so far.

<table border="1" align="center">
<tr>
	<td><B>File Name:</B></td>
	<td><B>Link to File:</B></td>
	<td><B>File Size:</B></td>
</tr>
<?php

$directory = opendir('.');
while ($file = readdir($directory)) {
 if ($file != '.' && $file != '..') {
  $files[] = $file;
  $filesizes[] =  filesize($file);
 }
}
closedir($directory);

while (list($key,$filename) = each($files)) {
list($key2,$filesizes2) = each($filesizes);
echo "<tr>
		<td>$filename</td>
		<td><a href=$filename> $filename </a></td>
		<td>$filesizes2";
		echo " Bytes</td>
	</tr>";
}
?>
</table>

It works but it seems to be rather randomly sorted. I was wondering how I would go about having the list sorted by filename. Note that the way I managed to do it above, the filesize and filenames are in seperate arrays... so I dont think I could simply use some sort of sorting after the fact. Perhaps there is a way to pass an attribute with the "readdir()" command so that it outputs it alphabetically?

if anyone has any idea let me know.

Thx,

make each dir into an array.. then use the array sorting function.. then do a foreach or some other type of way to output... http://php.net is all you need for a refrence..

Edit: see you have arrays for filesize.. just do this..

$filename= "php.txt";
ArrayName[$filename][size]=SIZE
ArrayName[$filename][type]=TYPE

hope that helps more..

I dont really follow you....
Does adding additional []s to an array add another property to the array? Suchthat it has multiple properties under a single varialbe?

[kantlivelong]

in some sort of twisted way they do.. arrays can be within arrays...
