How do you set a List in Alphabetical Order?

Such as a long list of things?

What is your data source?

Something like this might work...
$var = strtolower($var);
if (isset($vars[$var])) {
$vars[$var]++;
} else {
$vars[$var] = 1;
}

buuuuut, I think this would be a built in function... Lemme check the documentation.

edit: Yeah, look here for some nice information... I think...

Is it a collection of strings in an array? Is it from a mysql database?

PHP Code:


		
			
<?php 



$dir = dir( $d );

  while( false !== ( $entry = $dir->read() ) ) {

if($entry!='.' && $entry!='..' && $entry!='index.php' && $entry!='error_log') {







   echo '<b><a style="color:red;font-family:helvetica;font-size:12px;" href="'.$entry.'">';

   print $entry.'<br/>';

   echo '</a></b>';



 }

}







     



?>
