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'
