note 71284 added to function.explode

If you want to split a path into name+extension, explode(".",$path,1) will not work, because if path contains more than one dot, then all dots will be included in the extension. Here is the solution I found (it returns the last dot with the extension): <?php function split_name_and_extension($path) { if (preg_match('/(.+)(\..*)$/', $path, $matches)) { array_shift($matches); // return $matches[1], $matches[2] return $matches; } else { return array($path, ""); } } ?> ---- Server IP: 192.117.122.43 Probable Submitter: 89.138.178.225 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.explode.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/71284 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/71284/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/71284/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/71284/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/71284/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/71284/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/71284/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/71284 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/71284 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
