Get most recent files recursively with PHP

Question

I am looking for code which lists the five most recent files in a directory recursively.

This is non-recursive code, and would be perfect for me if it was recursive:

Answer 1

This is pretty quick and dirty, and untested, but might get you started:

function top5mods($dir)
{
  $mods = array();
  foreach (glob($dir . '/*') as $f) {
    $mods[] = filemtime($f);
  }
  sort($mods);
  $mods = array_reverse($mods);
  return array_slice($mods, 0, 5);
}
