note 87255 added to features.file-upload

In reply to: bokiatenxi at yahoo dot com 03-Apr-2008 11:57 I use this one which works better for me instead of using strrchr to get the file extension the easier and fool proof way is to use substr() like so: $ext = substr($filename, -3); // for the last three $ext = substr($filename, -4); // for the dot too or if you where to want to be really sure: $base_file = basename($filename); $ext = substr($base_file, -3); // and so on There are many ways to do things and some work better for some people and on some builds. I have worked extensively with string functions and this is my favorite. ---- Server IP: 208.69.120.35 Probable Submitter: 66.243.225.50 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/features.file-upload.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/87255 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/87255/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/87255/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/87255/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/87255/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/87255/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/87255/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/87255 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/87255 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
