PHP List Recent Files in Folder - I'm close

I would like to list the top x number of files in a particular folder. I have a script that list the most recent, but I need something that list the top X.

Here's the current script:

<?php
# Most recently updated file in a directory
 
 
# Set up
 
$dir = "/home/bleucube/public_html/XXXXX";
$pattern = '\.(html|php|php4|txt )$';
 
$newstamp = 0;
$newname = "";
$dc = opendir($dir);
while ($fn = readdir($dc)) {
        # Eliminate current directory, parent directory...
