note 89127 added to function.basename

here are two good functions to extract the filename and extension part from any given path or url. function ShowFileExtension($filepath) { preg_match('/[^?]*/', $filepath, $matches); $string = $matches[0]; $pattern = preg_split('/\./', $string, -1, PREG_SPLIT_OFFSET_CAPTURE); # check if there is any extension if(count($pattern) == 1) { echo 'No File Extension Present'; exit; } if(count($pattern) > 1) { $filenamepart = $pattern[count($pattern)-1][0]; preg_match('/[^?]*/', $filenamepart, $matches); echo $matches[0]; } } function ShowFileName($filepath) { preg_match('/[^?]*/', $filepath, $matches); $string = $matches[0]; #split the string by the literal dot in the filename $pattern = preg_split('/\./', $string, -1, PREG_SPLIT_OFFSET_CAPTURE); #get the last dot position $lastdot = $pattern[count($pattern)-1][1]; #now extract the filename using the basename function $filename = basename(substr($string, 0, $lastdot-1)); #return the filename part return $filename; } usage //$string = 'C:\My Documents\My Name\filename.ext'; //$string = 'http://php.net/manual/add-note.php? &redirect=http://php.net/function.basename.php'; echo ShowFileName($string); echo ShowFileExtension($string); ---- Server IP: 59.162.86.33 Probable Submitter: 59.96.132.164 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.basename.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/89127 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/89127/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/89127/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/89127/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/89127/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/89127/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/89127/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/89127 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/89127 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
