I have a small script that puts images from a folder into a web page. I would like to sort by DATE MODIFIED anyone know how to do this?
function php_thumbnails($imagefolder,$thumbfolder,$lightbox)
{
//Get image and thumbnail folder from function
$images = "portfolio/" . $imagefolder; //The folder that contains your images. This folder must contain ONLY ".jpg files"!
$thumbnails = "portfolio/" . $thumbfolder; // the folder that contains all created thumbnails.
//Load Images
//load images into an array and sort them alphabeticall:
$files = array();
if ($handle = opendir($images))
{
while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle)))
{
//Only do JPG's
if(eregi("((.jpeg|.jpg)$)", $file))
{
$files[] = array("name" => $file);
}
}
closedir($handle);
}
//Obtain a list of columns
foreach ($files as $key => $row)
{
$name[$key] = $row['name'];
}
//Put images in order:
array_multisort($name, SORT_ASC, $files);
//set the GET variable name
$pic = $imagefolder;
You need to use filemtime function to retrieve the files modification time, and then use it to build your multisort help array.
...
if(eregi("((.jpeg|.jpg)$)", $file))
{
$datem = filemtime($images . '/' . $file);
$files[] = array("name" => $file, "date" => $datem);
}
}
...
...
...
foreach ($files as $key => $row)
{
$date[$key] = $row['date'];
}
//Put images in order:
array_multisort($date, SORT_ASC, $files);
