reset
A cleaner (I think) way to sort a list of files into reversed order based on their modification date.
<?php
$path = $_SERVER[DOCUMENT_ROOT]."/files/";
$dh = @opendir($path);
while (false !== ($file=readdir($dh)))
{
if (substr($file,0,1)!=".")
$files[]=array(filemtime($path.$file),$file); #2-D array
}
closedir($dh);
if ($files)
{
rsort($files); #sorts by filemtime
#done! Show the files sorted by modification date
foreach ($files as $file)
echo "$file[0] $file[1]<br>\n"; #file[0]=Unix timestamp; file[1]=filename
}
?>
rsort
(PHP 4, PHP 5)
rsort — 配列を逆順にソートする
説明
bool rsort
( array &$array
[, int $sort_flags = SORT_REGULAR
] )
この関数は、配列を逆順に(高位から低位に)ソートします。
返り値
成功した場合に TRUE を、失敗した場合に FALSE を返します。
例
例1 rsort() の例
<?php
$fruits = array("lemon", "orange", "banana", "apple");
rsort($fruits);
foreach ($fruits as $key => $val) {
echo "$key = $val\n";
}
?>
上の例の出力は以下となります。
0 = orange 1 = lemon 2 = banana 3 = apple
fruits はアルファベットの逆順にソートされました。
注意
注意: この関数は、 array パラメータの要素に対して新しいキーを割り当てます。 その際、単純にキーを並べ替える代わりに、 すでに割り当てられている既存のキーを削除してしまいます。

I needed a function that would sort a list of files into reversed order based on their modification date.
Here's what I came up with:
function display_content($dir,$ext){
$f = array();
if (is_dir($dir)) {
if ($dh = opendir($dir)) {
while (($folder = readdir($dh)) !== false) {
if (preg_match("/\s*$ext$/", $folder)) {
$fullpath = "$dir/$folder";
$mtime = filemtime ($fullpath);
$ff = array($mtime => $fullpath);
$f = array_merge($f, $ff);
}
}
rsort($f, SORT_NUMERIC);
while (list($key, $val) = each($f)) {
$fcontents = file($val, "r");
while (list($key, $val) = each($fcontents))
echo "$val\n";
}
}
}
closedir($dh);
}
Call it like so:
display_content("folder","extension");

Like sort(), rsort() assigns new keys for the elements in array. It will remove any existing keys you may have assigned, rather than just reordering the keys. This means that it will destroy associative keys.
$animals = array("dog"=>"large", "cat"=>"medium", "mouse"=>"small");
print_r($animals);
//Array ( [dog] => large [cat] => medium [mouse] => small )
rsort($animals);
print_r($animals);
//Array ( [0] => small [1] => medium [2] => large )
Use KSORT() or KRSORT() to preserve associative keys.

Apparently rsort does not put arrays with one value back to zero. If you have an array like: $tmp = array(9 => 'asdf') and then rsort it, $tmp[0] is empty and $tmp[9] stays as is.

I thought rsort was working successfully or on a multi-dimensional array of strings that had first been sorted with usort(). But, I noticed today that the array was only partially in descending order. I tried array_reverse on it and that seems to have solved things.
