If you're on PHP 5, look at scandir(). It gives you an array of all of the files/directories in a given directory, which you can then sort with sort() or usort() or whatever. If you're on PHP 4, there's a backport of it in PEAR::PHP_Compat that doesn't actually require the rest of PEAR to function. :-) -- Larry Garfield AIM: LOLG42 [EMAIL PROTECTED] ICQ: 6817012 "If nature has made any one thing less susceptible than all others of exclusive property, it is the action of the thinking power called an idea, which an individual may exclusively possess as long as he keeps it to himself; but the moment it is divulged, it forces itself into the possession of every one, and the receiver cannot dispossess himself of it." -- Thomas Jefferson -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
