I am trying to select only files that were modified on a specific date, and display them.

For example, pull all files that were modified today, and display them in the output. Is there a way to do this? Here is the code I am using:

<?php
if ($handle = opendir('11262005/')) {
   while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle))) {
       if ($file != "." && $file != "..") {
          echo "$file\n";
       }
   }
   closedir($handle);
}
?>

Can someone help me with this? I will start using a time stamp in the future, but that won't help me with the current files.

Also, is there a way to sort the entire contents of the directory by modification date?

Thanks in advance.

PHP Code:

<?php
clearstatcache();
$today = strtotime(date("d M Y"));
$filelist = Array();
$times = Array();
if ($handle = opendir('images/')) {
  while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle))) {
    if ($file != "." && $file != "..") {
      $time = filemtime("images/".$file);
      if($today-$time <0) {
    $filelist[] = $file;
    $times[] = $time;
      }      
    }
  }
  closedir($handle);
}


array_multisort($times, SORT_NUMERIC, SORT_ASC, $filelist);
?>
<style>
td { border: solid 1px black; }
th { border: solid 1px black; }
</style>
<table><tr>
<th>Filename</th><th>Last Modified</th>
</tr>
<?
for($i = 0; $i < count($filelist); $i++) {
  echo "<tr><td>".$filelist[$i]."</td><td>".date("jS M Y, h:i:s",$times[$i])."</td></tr>";
}

echo "</table>";

?>

Some explanation:

$today = strtotime(date("d M Y")); gets a timestamp value for the start of the day. By subtracting the file mod times from this, we can tell if it has been modified to day ( the result will be negative ).

the lines $filelist[] = $file; and $times[] = $time; are building up two arrays, one of times, and the other of files. Only files modified today will be in the lists.

array_multisort sorts both arrays by the time last modified, keeping the files with their times. To alter the sort order you can change SORT_ASC to SORT_DESC.

The rest of the code just prints it all out in a nice table.
