You can STFW and RTFM. This list should never be your first place to ask simple questions.
    In any case....
<? $split = explode('.',strtolower($fileName)); $name = $split[0]; $ext = $split[1]; ?>
Flame job aside, that's going to fail on a compound extension such as ".tar.gz" by just returning .tar
