Note Submitter: phpnet at whoisgregg dot com ---- If you want to easily assign the values returned by pathinfo to separate variable names, list isn't enough. You can use array_values() first to convert the associative array into the indexed array that list() expects: // throws notices, variables aren't set list( $dirname, $basename, $extension, $filename ) = pathinfo($file); // works list( $dirname, $basename, $extension, $filename ) = array_values( pathinfo($file) );
