显示添加到网站目录的最新文件，同时排除PHP中的某些特定文件

Question

Found this code online that was very helpful. I have been trying to tweak it for a few hours now to exclude a certain file name of (mobile.htm). Can I get some help in the right direction to exclude the mobile.htm file name before the result is displayed and how can i display the full path to the file so I can turn it into a link?

<?php
$path = "states"; 
$latest_ctime = 0;
$latest_filename = '';    
$d = dir($path);
while (false !== ($entry = $d->read())) {
   $filepath = "{$path}/{$entry}";
   if(is_file($filepath) && filectime($filepath) > $latest_ctime) {
      $latest_ctime = filectime($filepath);
      $latest_filename = $entry;
      echo $latest_filename;
?>

UPDATE: This is the code I got to work for me. I had $var that I was trying to view on an index page that wasnt being seen. What worked for me was making a iframe on the homepage that linked to another page that carried the $_SESSION info of the $var. Here is the code that i placed int he iframe that worked for me.

The 3 if ($entry == "YourFile.html") {continue;} that I have listed stop the request from showing specific files you enter.

<?php
$path = "states/$ls"; 
$latest_ctime = 0;
$latest_filename = '';
$d = dir($path);
while ($entry = $d->read()) {
if ($entry == "mobile.htm") {continue;}
if ($entry == "bg.jpg") {continue;}
if ($entry == "flag.png") {continue;}
$filepath = "$path/$entry";
$ctime = filectime($filepath);
if (is_file($filepath) && $ctime > $latest_ctime) {
    $latest_ctime = $ctime;
    $latest_filename = $filepath;
}
}
echo $latest_filename;
?>

A huge thank you to @Barmar below for helping me. I absolutely love this website and community.

You can use a continue; statement to skip to the next iteration of the loop.

while ($entry = $d->read()) {
    if ($entry == "mobile.html") {
        continue;
    }
    $filepath = "$path/$entry";
    $ctime = filectime($filepath);
    if (is_file($filepath) && $ctime > $latest_ctime) {
        $latest_ctime = $ctime;
        $latest_filename = $filepath;
    }
}
echo $latest_filename;

I put $filepath in $latest_filename since you want the full path for your link.
