PHP Help Needed

[Ruatha]

Can there somwhow be a character zero involved in the sorting, as I guess the string of the filename starts with character one.
So if it tried to sort with a non existant character it would get a random one??

What if you try to define that it should sort by characters 1-3 in the filenmane?

Very Wild guess!!

How about case?
Transform all to lowercase first before sorting?

Edit:

array_multisort(StrToLower($fileArray));


Or rather make it to lowercase when reading in the files, as the above propably won't work.

They are all lowercase to begin with.

Here is the result from running the original file you posted on my server:

http://pbw.ath.cx/sort2.php

As you can see, it sorts them right but it doesn't display the Last file.
(Ignore all the errors and skip to the bottom)

(I've downloaded all the zip files.)

So it seems to perhaps be something with linux filesystem??

Could be. I think all of those errors are due to misconfigurations in your PHP files... I only used standard PHP functions and such, and did not define anything with any names given by the errors.

I think it's the parameters in stristr that needs to be surrounded by quotes for the errors to disappear.
I have standrad settings for most PHP settings except file sizes and magic quotes.

You have a wrong parameter. Array_multisort requires an array, not a multi-dimensional array. You have to modify $fileArray a bit. Now it's $fileArray[$counter][0], change it to $fileArray[0][$counter]. Then you can sort it easily. For example:

array_multisort($fileArray[0], SORT_ASC, SORT_STRING);//sorts by names.

Have you noticed when you use $file = readdir($dir_handle) you get first "." and then ".." and but then real filenames.

Yep, it's the current directory "." and the directory above ".."
as in ms dos;
CD..

Fyron, did you get the sorting working or did you lost interest to the whole thing?
