[SOLVED] Where is that Extension type?

[NorthWestSimulations]

I know it has to be in the $_FILES["file"]['']; array somewhere. I just cant find it.

 

Lets say I upload a file named "test.wav" How do I get just the part of "wav" or if someone uploads a file like "Walalal.Test.haha.BooYeah.txt" it will take "txt" as the extension type. Hmm... Im curious, Any ideas how I get this info?  ???

<?php
$path_parts = pathinfo('/www/htdocs/index.html');

echo $path_parts['dirname'], "\n";
echo $path_parts['basename'], "\n";
echo $path_parts['extension'], "\n";
echo $path_parts['filename'], "\n"; // since PHP 5.2.0
?> 

 

 

from php.net/pathinfo

 

or try

The value you're referring to is

 

$_FILES["file"]['type'];

 

but it's not guaranteed to be authentic as php does not check to ensure that it is accurate.
