I currently have this code:
$files = glob('songs/*.{mp3}', GLOB_BRACE);
$dateUploaded = array();
foreach ($files as $file) {
$path_parts = pathinfo($file);
$dateUploaded[] = array("Date Uploaded" => date ("jS \of F, Y", filemtime($file)), "File Name" => $path_parts['filename']);
}
print_r($dateUploaded);
Which outputs
Array (
[0] => Array (
[Date Uploaded] => 26th of February, 2013
[File Name] => All That Glitters - This Sound (Felix Cartal Remix)
)
[1] => Array (
[Date Uploaded] => 26th of February, 2013
[File Name] => Bertie Blackman - Hide and Seek
)
[2] => Array (
[Date Uploaded] => 18th of December, 2012
[File Name] => Birds of Tokyo - This Fire
)
[3] => Array (
[Date Uploaded] => 18th of December, 2012
[File Name] => Bloc Party - Truth
)
[4] => Array (
[Date Uploaded] => 18th of December, 2012
[File Name] => C2C - Down the Road
)
[5] => Array (
[Date Uploaded] => 18th of December, 2012
[File Name] => Chance Waters - Young and Dumb feat Bertie Blackman
)
[6] => Array (
[Date Uploaded] => 26th of February, 2013
[File Name] => City Calm Down - Sense of Self
)
[7] => Array (
[Date Uploaded] => 18th of December, 2012
[File Name] => Clubfeet - Heartbreak
)
[8] => Array (
[Date Uploaded] => 26th of February, 2013
[File Name] => Cosmo Jarvis - My Own Thing
)
[9] => Array (
[Date Uploaded] => 6th of June, 2013
[File Name] => Courtney Barnett - History Eraser
)
[10] => Array (
[Date Uploaded] => 6th of June, 2013
[File Name] => Delphic - Baiya
)
)
What I am trying to do it group these by the "Date Uploaded" key. So I have something that resembles this:
Array (
[26th of February, 2013] => Array (
[0] All That Glitters - This Sound (Felix Cartal Remix)
[1] Bertie Blackman - Hide and Seek
[2] City Calm Down - Sense of Self
[3] Cosmo Jarvis - My Own Thing
)
[18th of December, 2012] => Array (
[0] Birds of Tokyo - This Fire
[1] Bloc Party - Truth
[2] C2C - Down the Road
[3] Chance Waters - Young and Dumb feat Bertie Blackman
[4] Clubfeet - Heartbreak
)
[6th of June, 2013] => Array (
[0] Courtney Barnett - History Eraser
[1] Delphic - Baiya
)
)
The main goal that I am trying to achieve is to be able to just put files in a folder on my server and have my script print out, in the form up a <ul>
, the songs grouped by date uploaded.
i.e.
<ul>
