List and Sort Files with PHP DirectoryIterator

Question

I\'m using DirectoryIterator to generate a linked-list of PDF files. (There\'s also some code to break up the file name to make the list more user friendly.) I\'d like to so

Answer 1

Use scandir instead of DirectoryIterator to get a sorted list of files:

$path = "../images/";

foreach (scandir($path) as $file){

    if($file[0] == '.'){continue;}//hidden file

    if( is_file($path.$file) ){

    }else if( is_dir($path.$file) ){

    }
}

scandir is case sensitive. For case insensitive sorting, see this answer: How do you scan the directory case insensitive?
