note 81386 added to function.filetype

In response to zachary.s.scott[at]gmail[dot]com. A simplified method would be to pop the last element off the array as that one will be your extension. <?php $file = "/some/path/to/your.file_stored_here.txt"; $extension = array_pop(explode(".", $file)); ?> $extension = 'txt' you could further use this with basename to strip off the extension completely off the file... <?php $file = "/some/path/to/your.file_stored_here.txt"; $extension = array_pop(explode(".", $file)); $filename = basename($file, ".$extension"); ?> $extension = 'txt' $filename = 'your.file_stored_here' ---- Server IP: 69.147.83.197 Probable Submitter: 76.71.29.98 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.filetype.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/81386 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/81386/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/81386/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/81386/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/81386/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/81386/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/81386/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/81386 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/81386 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
