Question:

Sorting directory listing SFTP

Aug 23 '12 at 11:17

I am connecting to a linux server using ssh. I want to list all the files in a directory. I got that part working however they are not in the order I would like. I want to sort by creating date.

Here is the code I am using

$dirListing = $sftp->ReadDir($handle);

if (is_null($dirListing)) { print $sftp->lastErrorHtml() . "n"; exit; }

// Iterate over the files. $sysTime = new SYSTEMTIME();

$n = $dirListing->get_NumFilesAndDirs(); if ($n == 0) { print 'No entries found in this directory.' . "n"; } else { print '

'; print ' '; for ($i = 0; $i <= $n - 1; $i++) {

    $fileObj = $dirListing->GetFileObject($i);

    $filetype = $fileObj->fileType();

    if($filetype != "directory") {
    ?>
    <tr>  
        <td scope="col"><?php print $fileObj->filename(); ?></td>
        <td scope="col"><?php print formatBytes($fileObj->get_Size32()); ?></td>
        <td scope="col"><?php $fileObj->get_CreateTime($sysTime);print $sysTime->wHour . ":" . $sysTime->wMinute . ' '. $sysTime->wMonth . '/'.$sysTime->wDay. '/'.$sysTime->wYear ."\n"; ?></td>
        <td scope="col">&nbsp;</td>
    </tr>
    <?php 
    }
}
print '</tbody></table> ';

}

How do I sort the directory listing by date?

File Name	File Size	Created
