So then would this work in php?
given the previus example.
foreach $filename ($files){
print = "<a href=\"$author/$filename\">$filename</a>";
}

Subject: RE: [PHP] Chopping up a comand line return.
| Well, I could update your perl code a bit, and try to help with your php
| question at the same time...
|
| first of all, i would use he following in perl to avoid the `ls` system
| call:
|
| **************************************************************
| $some_dir = "/your/dir/to/read/from/$author";
| opendir(DIR, $some_dir) || die "can't opendir $some_dir: $!";
| # sorts last modified time, most recent first, and only returns files in
| the directory
| @files = sort {(stat("$some_dir/$a"))[9] < (stat("$some_dir/$b"))[9]}
| grep { -f "$some_dir/$_" } readdir(DIR);
| closedir(DIR);
| **************************************************************
|
| so, given the perl version... here's the php version:
|
| **************************************************************
| $some_dir = "/your/dir/to/read/from/" . $author;
| $DIR = opendir($some_dir) || die "can't opendir $some_dir: $!";
| while (false!==($file = readdir($DIR))) {
| if (filetype($some_dir . "/" . $file) == "file") {
| $mtime = filemtime ($some_dir . "/" . $file);
| $files[$some_dir."/".$file] = $mtime;
| }
| }
| closedir($DIR);
|
| asort ($files);
| reset ($files);
| **************************************************************
|
| PHP's filemtime is equivalent to perl's (stat(<file>))[9], which returns
| the modification time of a file.
| PHP's filetype($file) is equivalent to the grep check in Perl for file
| type of file.
| All the others are identical.
|
| enjoy,
|
