[SOLVED] Extract Filename from URL

[mcmuney]

I'd like to display the filename extracted from the URL, how can I do that? For example, let's say I'm on my site abc.com/game.php, so what I'd like to show is "game" (taken from game.php).

 

Thanks.

In your example this would work.

$a = $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];
$b = str_replace(".php","","$a");
echo $b;

The downside is when the url changes from abc.com/game.php to abc.com/directory/game.php

You would have to substract the directory bit to if that isn't the case this would do.

 

$_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] in a script at the address http://example.com/test.php/foo.bar would be /test.php/foo.bar.
