显示以最新文件开头的目录中的所有文件

Question

I am trying to show all my files in a directory beginning with newest file added in directory. Right now I can only include all the files with the following code.

<?php
foreach (glob("posts/*.php") as $filename)
{
include $filename;
}
?>

I also managed to include only the most recent file, but I cant seem to figure out how to do it all together. I would be happy for any help. Thanks

Answer 1

First fill an array with information - filename and change date

$files = array();
foreach( glob( "posts/*.php" ) as $filename ) {
   $files[] = array(
     "name" => $filename,
     "change_date" => filectime( $filename );
   );
}

Then sort it by the change date

usort( $files, function($a, $b) {
   return $a->change_date - $b->change_date;
} );

And finally, do something with the sorted list

foreach ( $files as $file ) {
  echo $file;
}
