Sort and display directory list alphabetically using opendir() in php
- by felixthehat
Hi there, php noob here - I've cobbled together this script to display a list of images from a folder with opendir, but I can't work out how (or where) to sort the array alphabetically
<?php
// opens images folder
if ($handle = opendir('Images')) {
while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle))) {
// strips files extensions
$crap = array(".jpg", ".jpeg", ".JPG", ".JPEG", ".png", ".PNG", ".gif", ".GIF", ".bmp", ".BMP", "_", "-");
$newstring = str_replace($crap, " ", $file );
//asort($file, SORT_NUMERIC); - doesnt work :(
// hides folders, writes out ul of images and thumbnails from two folders
if ($file != "." && $file != ".." && $file != "index.php" && $file != "Thumbnails") {
echo "<li><a href=\"Images/$file\" class=\"thickbox\" rel=\"gallery\" title=\"$newstring\"><img src=\"Images/Thumbnails/$file\" alt=\"$newstring\" width=\"300\" </a></li>\n";}
}
closedir($handle);
}
?>
Any advice or pointers would be much appreciated!
