Parsing help!

I'm bad at parsing and was wondering if someone could whip up a bit of code to take a file name out of a directory URL.

 

Here's an example-

 

/home/wildtail/public_html/autopics/breedable/natural/manetail/black.png

 

I need it to just take the actual file name (black.png) out from the rest, scrap the rest, and then remove the .png on the end so all that's left is "black", but it's different with different file names, obviously.

 

Pre-thanks!

<?php
$string = "/home/wildtail/public_html/autopics/breedable/natural/manetail/black.png";
$bits = explode("/",$string);
$file = $bits[count($bits)-1];
list($name,$ext) = explode(".",$file);
echo "The name is: ".$name."<br />The extension is: ".$ext;
?>

Works wonders, thanks so much!

Even easier -- use the function pathinfo()

<?php
$string = "/home/wildtail/public_html/autopics/breedable/natural/manetail/black.png";
echo pathinfo($string,PATHINFO_FILENAME);
?>
