Re: Arrggg: stripping a file name

This is not a PEAR related question. function after_last ($this, $inthat) {

      if (!is_bool(strrevpos($inthat, $this)))
      return substr($inthat, strrevpos($inthat, $this)+strlen($this));

}; echo after_last('\\', 'c:\myfiles\pictures\abc.jpg'); taken from the manual http://php.net/substr note: When working with single quotes (') and your string ends with a backslash \, you should double it. e.g. 'c:\myfiles\pictures\abc.jpg' 'c:\myfiles\pictures\\' 'c:\myfiles\pictures' 'c:\myfiles\\' Please ask PEAR-related questions here. -- Regards, Norbert Mocsnik http://norbert.mocsnik.hu/ Jeff Jordan wrote: > I would appreciate any help someone can give. > > I have a field that contains c:\myfiles\pictures\abc.jpg > > all I want to store in my table is abc.jpg > > The last effort was > > $myfile = explode('\x92', $_POST[frontelevsrc]); > $_POST[frontelevsrc] = array_pop($myfile); > > note: I have also tried "\x92" (double quotes). > > Can anyone help? > > Thanks > Jeff >
