This is a modification of simraLIAS at mac dot com's code.
Modification dates should not be used for keys in an array when sorting by date because there is no guarantee that all files will have different dates. Collisions resulting in files missing from the list could be possible. A better way is to use the filename as the key (guaranteed to not be collisions)
<?php
foreach (glob("../downloads/*") as $path) { //configure path
$docs[$path] = filectime($path);
} asort($docs); // sort by value, preserving keys
foreach ($docs as $path => $timestamp) {
print date("d. M. Y: ", $timestamp);
print '<a href="'. $path .'">'. basename($path) .'</a><br />';
}
?>
filectime
(PHP 4, PHP 5)
filectime — Vrací čas změny inodu souboru
Popis
int filectime ( string $filename )Vrací čas poslední změny inodu souboru, při chybě FALSE. Čas je vracen jako Unix timestamp.
Výsledek této funkce je cachován. Více informací - viz clearstatcache().
Pozn.: Na většině unixových filesystémů platí, že soubor je považován za změněný, pokud jsou změněna data v Inodu, tj. přístupová práva, vlastník, skupina nebo jiná metadata jsou zapsána do Inodu. filemtime() (toto je to, co chcete použít, když chcete vytvořit údaj "Poslední změna" na WWW stránce) a fileatime().
Pozn.: Na některých Unixech je ctime považován za čas vytvoření souboru. To je chyba. Na většině unixových filesystémů neexistuje žádný čas vytvoření unixových souborů.

This is another way to get a list of files ordered by upload time:
<?php
foreach (glob("../downloads/*") as $path) { //configure path
$docs[filectime($path)] = $path;
} ksort($docs); // sort by key (timestamp)
foreach ($docs as $timestamp => $path) {
print date("d. M. Y: ", $timestamp);
print '<a href="'. $path .'">'. basename($path) .'</a><br />';
}
?>

filectime running on windows reading a file from a samba share, will still show the last modified date.

Line 37 of the code above has an error.
echo "File name: $file - Date Added: $date. <br/>"";
There is an extra " after the <br/> that needs to be deleted in order for this code to work.

This method gets all the files in a directory, and echoes them in the order of the date they were added (by ftp or whatever).
<?PHP
function dirList ($directory, $sortOrder){
//Get each file and add its details to two arrays
$results = array();
$handler = opendir($directory);
while ($file = readdir($handler)) {
if ($file != '.' && $file != '..' && $file != "robots.txt" && $file != ".htaccess"){
$currentModified = filectime($directory."/".$file);
$file_names[] = $file;
$file_dates[] = $currentModified;
}
}
closedir($handler);
//Sort the date array by preferred order
if ($sortOrder == "newestFirst"){
arsort($file_dates);
}else{
asort($file_dates);
}
//Match file_names array to file_dates array
$file_names_Array = array_keys($file_dates);
foreach ($file_names_Array as $idx => $name) $name=$file_names[$name];
$file_dates = array_merge($file_dates);
$i = 0;
//Loop through dates array and then echo the list
foreach ($file_dates as $file_dates){
$date = $file_dates;
$j = $file_names_Array[$i];
$file = $file_names[$j];
$i++;
echo "File name: $file - Date Added: $date. <br/>"";
}
}
?>
I hope this is useful to somebody.

filectime doesn't seem to be working properly on Win32 systems (it seems to return the creation time). Try using filemtime if you have problems.

If you use filectime with a symbolic link, you will get the change time of the file actually linked to. To get informations about the link self, use lstat.
