I’m trying to sort the list of files from ABC, Currently its displaying rand, How would I organize this?
THANKS

[CODE]
$ndir = @opendir(‘news_articles/title’);
$counter = 0;
while(($filename = readdir($ndir)) !== false){
if(!($counter < 2)){
$display = file_get_contents(‘news_articles/title/’ . $filename);
echo $display . ‘<br>’;
}
$counter++;
}
?>
[/CODE]

@SpectreReturnsMar 30.2006 — Add it to an array and then sort that.

@balloonbuffoonMar 30.2006 — You might also consider using glob(), as it automatically sorts by alphabet:
[code=php]
foreach(glob("news_articles/title/*.*") as $filename) {
$display = file_get_contents('news_articles/title/' . $filename);
echo $display . '<br>';
}
[/code]
If that doesn't work, you may have to supply glob() with the full path to that folder (using $_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"] and such).

$files = glob('news_articles/title/*');
// default for glob is an alpha-sort listing
$counter = 0;
foreach($files as $file)
{
if(is_dir($file))
{
continue; // it's a directory, so ignore it
}
readfile($file); // reads and outputs file in one fell swoop
echo "<br>";
if(++$counter > 2){
break;
}
}

Your code works but it lists in reverse to what I want

test 1

test 2

test 3

I want:

test 3

test 2

test 1

How would I just reverse this?

Thanks again
