Geting last file uploaded out of a number of dir

Question

I am going to have one directory with multiple sub-directories. I want to be able to get the last, one, uploaded/modified flv out of each directory and be able create a formatted list that can be outputted.

I have used glob and foreach to create lists of folder items before but not sure how to accomplish this, and just return one file out of a number of sub-directories.

Any help will be appreciated

Thank you!

<?php
$result = array();
foreach (new DirectoryIterator('/path/to/dir') as $item) {
    if (!$item->isDot() && $item->isDir()) {
        $result[$item->getFilename()] = $m = null;
        foreach (new DirectoryIterator($item->getPathname()) as $subItem) {
            if ($subItem->isFile() && $m < $subItem->getMTime()) {
                $result[$item->getFilename()] = $subItem->getFilename();
                $m = $subItem->getMTime();
            }
        }
    }
}

You're locking for filemtime
