I have a php gallery populated from a folder of thumbnails and slides like this.

GALLERY/    

     +thumbs

          01.gal.jpg

          02.gal.jpg

          03.gal.jpg

     +slides

          01.gal.jpg

          02.gal.jpg

          03.gal.jpg

Works as expected on my local testing server but my live page is displaying images in random order: 11., 04., 10., 02., etc...

My test page with PHP code.

How do I invoke natsort into my existing PHP code?  Everything I've tried so far has failed.

Thanks,

Nancy O.

Thanks for that Rob.

I finally found a solution.  Although I had an array called $file_parts, I needed to create another array to sort.  Not exactly elegant, but it works.

Perhaps what you want is natcasesort($fileList)

Thanks Rob.  But that doesn't work either. 

I must be overlooking something else in my coding but I don't know what.

Here is an example of code I use with this function. natcasesort gives a more correct alphabetical sort, so I thought that might have been the issue.

function galleryDisplay($path, $dirpath) {

        $handle = opendir($path);

        $fileList = array();

        while ($file = readdir($handle)) {

            if ($file != "." && $file != "..") {

                array_push($fileList,$file);

            }

        }

        closedir($handle);

        natcasesort($fileList); 

        foreach ($fileList as $value) {

echo "<div class='image_item'><img src='$path/$value' draggable='true'/><br/>";  

echo "<div><a href='images.php?messagebox=delete_image&value=$value&dirpath=$dirpath'>DELETE</a>";   

echo "<a href='images.php?messagebox=open&value=$value&dirpath=$dirpath'> | VIEW</a><br/> $value</div></div>";

        }

    }
