I have a routine to extract the name and mtime files in a directory.
PHP by default sorts the array key. I looked at other sort functions
but don't understand how to sort on a different field.

Can someone please show me how to sort by the filemtime field instead
of the filename?

Thank you!

<TABLE ALIGN=CENTER BGCOLOR=#ffffff CELLPADDING=4 CELLSPACING=0
border=2>
<tr><TH>File</TH><TH>Date</TH></TR>
<?php
$dir="./";
if (is_dir($dir)) {
$dh = @opendir($dir);
if($dh) {
while (($file = @readdir($dh)) == true) {
$pos = strpos($file, '.');
if (!$pos === false) {
if ($file != "." && $file != "..") {
$file_array[] = $file;
}
}
}
}
sort($file_array);
reset($file_array);
for($i=0;$i<count($file_array);$i++) {
$name=$file_array[$i];
$date = date("Y-m-d H:i", filemtime($name));
if (!is_dir($name)) {
print("<tr><TD>$name</TD><TD>$date</TD></TR>\n");
}
}
}
?>
</TABLE>
