"asort" is not doing what it is supposed to do

[=?ISO-8859-1?Q?Fran=E7oise_Debat?=]

Hello everybody,

I have this problem reading the contents of a directory. here is my code:

$my_dir = dir('data/templates');

asort($my_dir);

while (false !== ($entry = $my_dir->read()))
{
echo $entry."<br>\n";
}
$my_dir->close();
But I need it to read the directory in alphabetical order and I cannot
succeed in this. "asort" is not doing what it is supposed to do. Can
somebody tell me how to achieve this?

Thank you

Françoise

Eeeerrr.... $my_dir is not an array, you cannot run asort() through it!!

Yes, I understand. How then can I sort the list alphabetically?

Thanks for your help

First dump all the directory entries in an array, *then* sort that array.

That's probably easiest. Might be more fun to do a bubble sort though
:-)

I'm sorry, I don't understand how to do either. Please can you point me
to an example I can learn from?

Thank you very much
