Re: dir() class suggestion

bugs.php.net is kind of a better place... As of your question: I disagree there should be a sorting feature. You can use your own sorting logic while looping the returned array, not telling PHP how to give you the directory contents. How would you go with limiting size? You'd need to specify sorting method, and pass min/max ranges, and then, perhaps, to also ask to order alphabetically.... I think returning you an array is better for you as well since you'd get a better result yourself sorting on your own and free up the system. have you ever tried using `` quotes? echo ls -la; you get the linux directory output. -- Maxim Maletsky maxim@php.net "Boris Penck" <boris@gamate.com> wrote... : > Hi there, > > today I was playing around with dir() and my problem is that there is no > chance to tell dir() > weather to sort the files and directories.
