In reply to: jsteele@snl.com and the answer by harry@ilo.de Your reg_exp will only allow extensions consisting of only chars (\w) - what about .mp3? I usually use: function getext($filename) { if(preg_match("/^.*\.(.+)$/si",$filename,$tmp)) return $tmp[1]; else return false; } and never encountered any problems. Hope that helps- Oliver -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.basename.php http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+23706 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+23706 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+23706
