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

Edit : Sorry I didn't see the part "recursively".

To get RECENTS files first (html for example), please sort like this with anonymous function :

$myarray = glob("*.*.html");
usort($myarray, function($a,$b){
  return filemtime($b) - filemtime($a);
});

And to get it recursively you can :

function glob_recursive($pattern, $flags = 0) {
    $files = glob($pattern, $flags);
    foreach (glob(dirname($pattern).'/*', GLOB_ONLYDIR|GLOB_NOSORT) as $dir) {
        $files = array_merge($files, glob_recursive($dir.'/'.basename($pattern), $flags));
    }
    return $files;
}

So, replace then the glob function by :

$myarray = glob_recursive("*.*.html");
usort($myarray, function($a,$b){
  return filemtime($b) - filemtime($a);
});
