explode function

[seularts]

How do i explode a path such as: c:/path1/path2/path3/file.exe, by counting the words(because the path can vary) in the path and exploding them through "/", and then exploding again the last 2 words delimited through "." remaining only with the word file.

Can anyone help me with this!?

Show us your code so far, then we'll help.

<?

$str = "c:/etc/asd/ada/fda.jpg";

$primu= explode("/",$str,5);

$doi=explode(".",$primu[4]);

echo $doi[0];

?>

 

The result is the word "fda", but here i`m counting the word manualy, i would like something like a loop for the arry count of the words, if that is possible:)

you could use regex....

 

$filename = ereg("/(.*)\..{3,4}", $str, $arr) ? $arr[1] : "No File Name";

 

 

haven't tested this code

this is the output: etc/asd/ada/fda, so i still remain with the problem of selecting the last word from the count. because the path could vary from 5 to even 20 words.. so there wouldn't be any hope to select thw eord bi hand imput, so i do need a loop

[Zane]

here try this

$filename = ereg("/(.*\..{3,4})"), $str, $arr) ? $arr[1] : "No File Name";

 

you shouldn't need a loop if you just need the filename like that.

Regex can chop it all up no matter how long it is

 

 

EDIT: I had to edit the code btw

[seularts]

there is no output this way, the page just gows blank:))

[Zane]

there's always this

$filename = substr($str,strrpos($str,"/"),0);

[seularts]

same result.. blank page..

<?php

$path = 'c:/path1/path2/path3/file.exe';
$boom = explode("/", $path);
$lolExplosion = explode(".", end($boom));

echo $lolExplosion[0];

?>

Sorry, fixed the code above. ^

 

Tested, and works.

 

Outputs 'file'

wow.. thanks alot man.. that work perfectly:D this was the last piece of the puzzle for me at my console:P

[LemonInflux]

haha no prob. I'd never found a reason to use the end() function before, so thanks for posting this

Or you could use:

<?php
$path = 'c:/path1/path2/path3/file.exe';
$info = pathinfo($path);
echo $info['filename'];

?>
