Sorting Files by Date at the Top of the Page Using RecursiveDirectoryIterator
Now by default it is displayed alphabetically, I don't want that. I want to sort files using RecursiveDirectoryIterator recent files at the top. Descending order.
Also use if condition to compare date and get files from that date
<?php
$search_path = 'D:\xampp\htdocs';
$file_extension = 'php';
$it = new RecursiveDirectoryIterator("$search_path");
$display = Array ($file_extension);
foreach(new RecursiveIteratorIterator($it) as $file) {
$test = Array();
$test = explode("/",date("m/d/Y",filemtime($file)));
$year = $test[2];
$day = $test[1];
$month = $test[0];
if (in_array(strtolower(array_pop(explode('.', $file))), $display))
if(($year >= 2014) && ($month >= 1) && ($day >= 15 )){
echo "<span style='color:red;'>";
echo "<b style='color:green;'>".$day.'-'.$month.'-'.$year. '</b> ' . $file."</span><br>";
}
}
?>

I don't know if you can sort by DirectoryIterator
straight, you can collect the results first, get the time, then sort and then present it. Example:
$display = array('php');
$files = new RecursiveIteratorIterator(new RecursiveDirectoryIterator($search_path));
$data = array();
foreach($files as $file) {
$time = DateTime::createFromFormat('U', filemtime($file->getPathname()));
// no need to explode the time, just make it a datetime object
if(in_array($file->getExtension(), $display) && $time > new DateTime('2014-01-15')) { // is PHP and is greater than jan 15 2014
$data[] = array('filename' => $file->getPathname(), 'time' => $time->getTimestamp()); // push inside
}
}
usort($data, function($a, $b){ // sort by time latest
return $b['time'] - $a['time'];
});
foreach ($data as $key => $value) {
$time = date('Y-m-d', $value['time']);
echo "
<span style='color: red;'>
<b style='color: green;'>$time</b>$value[filename]
</span>
<br/>
";
}
