Php sort file from dir in desending order (Latest at top) -

**files date descending order, how it? ** need show files date latest @ top

function list_dir($dn){     if($dn[strlen($dn)-1] != '\\') $dn.='\\';     static $ra = array();     $handle = opendir($dn);     while($fn = readdir($handle)){         if($fn == '.' || $fn == '..') continue;         if(is_dir($dn.$fn)) list_dir($dn.$fn.'\\');         else $ra[] = $dn.$fn;     }     closedir($handle);     return $ra; }   $filelist = list_dir('d:\xampp\htdocs');     for($i=0;$i<count($filelist);$i++){         $test = array();         $year = $test[2];         $day = $test[1];         $month = $test[0];                $test = explode("/",date("m/d/y",filemtime($filelist[$i])));         echo "<span style='color:red;'><b  style='color:green;'>".$day.'-'.month.'-'.$year. '</b> ' . $filelist[$i]."</span><br>";     }  clearstatcache(); 

you can use glob, arsort sort high low.

$files = glob("*"); //fetch files. $files = array_combine($files, array_map("filemtime", $files)); //grab filetime each file arsort($files); //sort high low echo "<pre>"; echo print_r($files, true); echo "</pre>"; 

output (after formatting in table)

<?php  $files = glob("*"); //fetch files. $files = array_combine($files, array_map("filemtime", $files)); arsort($files); echo "<table>        <tr>          <th>file</th>          <th>last modified</th>"; foreach( $files $file => $date ) {     echo '<tr><td>'. $file .'</td><td>'. date("y m d g:i:s a", $date).'</td></tr>'; } echo "</table>";
