The whole point of the slightly clunky code was to find the files and then read from them in 'reverse' order which seems to have been overlooked here ? If it doesn't matter to them then fine though. For what it's worth, something like /* Determine number of memo*.txt files */ for ($memno=1, file_exists('memo'.$memno.'.txt'), $memno++) {} $memno--; /* Read each memo file in reverse order */ for ($count=$memno, $count > 0, $count--) { readfile('memo'.$count.'.txt'); *This isn't tested but should be close*
