Gallery Folder Sort

[fjorko]

Hi All

Scoured the web and found only bits of info on my issue, but no definitive answers to my specific problem..

Remember – I’m very new to this – so pardon any mistakes or oversight on my part..

What I’ve got working is the following:

I’m making an image gallery. I have a PHP script that reads a folder and lists the sub-folders in this folder, which in turn contains images.

I need this listing of folders ( which are also echoed as links ) to be listed alphabetically:

I tried to assign a variable to an array (not shown here) – as apparently you can only sort an array, then tried to run the sort() function on this array…

Something like this :

$folder[] = $album_name;



sort($folder);

Unfortunately I get weird results…

This is a snippet of the code – can anyone assist me in getting the resultant echo to display alphabetically :

//folders

$base = "Photos";

$thumbs = "Thumbs";



//get albums



$get_album = $_GET;



if(!$get_album)

{



echo "
Select an album:
";



$dirs = opendir($base);



echo "
"; //wrap all albums found in a div for styling

echo "
";



while(($folder = readdir($dirs))!== FALSE)



{



if(is_dir($base."/".$folder) && $folder != "." && $folder != ".." && $folder != $thumbs)



{



echo "
";

echo "$folder";

}



}





echo "
"; //end album div



closedir($dirs);

I got it sorted after some effort.

Thanks to all that contemplated helping me ! ;-) hiehiehie !
