Easy.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

<?php

function get_newest_file($directory) {

    if ($handle = opendir($directory)) {

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

            $files[] = $file;

        }

        foreach ($files as $val) {

            if (is_file($directory.$val)) {

                $file_date[$val] = filemtime($directory.$val);

            }

        }

    }

    closedir($handle);

    arsort($file_date, SORT_NUMERIC);

    reset($file_date);

    $newest = key($file_date);

    return $newest;

}

// example:

echo get_newest_file("the_way/to_the/director...

?>

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

The only difference is where it originally had "asort" it now reads "arsort" which is the opposite.

Hope this helps. Stevie.
