$indexCount	= count($dirArray);
//Print ("$indexCount files<br>\n");
sort($dirArray);
for($index=0; $index < $indexCount; $index++) {
	if (substr("$dirArray[$index]", 0, 1) != "."){ // don't list hidden files
		if(substr("$dirArray[$index]", 0, 4)=='some'){
			$this->somefiletype_path= $this->xml_dir.$dirArray[$index];
			$this->doSomething();
		}else{
