Note Submitter: dave at davedelong dot com ---- A "cheap" way to sort a directory list is like so (outputs HTML, one indent is 3 non-breaking spaces): <?php function echo_Dir($dir, $level) { //create an empty array to store the directories: $dirs = array(); //if we were given a directory to list... if (is_dir($dir)) { //and if we can open it... if ($handle = opendir($dir)) { //change directory: chdir($dir); //iterate through the directory while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle))) { if ($file != "." && $file != "..") { if (is_dir($file)) { //only add legit directories to the array array_push($dirs,$file); }//end if }//end if }//end while //sort the array sort($dirs); //NOW handle each directory via a foreach loop foreach ($dirs as $i => $file) { $to_echo = str_repeat("\t",$level+1) . str_repeat("&nbsp;",$level*3) . $file . "<br>"; echo $to_echo; echo_Dir($file,$level+1); }//end foreach //return to the parent directory chdir("../"); }//end if //close the handle closedir($handle); }//end if }//end function ?> For an example of what this outputs, check out http://www.davedelong.com/php/echodir.php
