What are some common methods to read and display the last 10 uploads on a website using PHP?

To display the last 10 uploads on a website using PHP, you can retrieve the file names from a directory where uploads are stored, sort them by date, and then display the last 10. One way to do this is to use the scandir() function to get the list of files, array_slice() to get the last 10 files, and then loop through them to display. 

// Get list of files in directory
$files = scandir('uploads/');

// Remove . and .. from the list
$files = array_diff($files, array('.', '..'));

// Sort files by date
usort($files, function($a, $b) {
    return filemtime('uploads/' . $b) - filemtime('uploads/' . $a);
});

// Get the last 10 files
$last_10_files = array_slice($files, 0, 10);

// Display the last 10 files
foreach ($last_10_files as $file) {
    echo '<a href="uploads/' . $file . '">' . $file . '</a><br>';
}
