[SOLVED] Get filename and split

[Bricktop]

Hi haps,

 

I'm building a file rename script, I have the filename stored as $file, but this will return "example.txt"

 

What I would like to is to get "example" and ".txt" and store them as:

 

$filename

$extension

 

Any ideas?

 

Thanks

<?php
  $file = 'example.txt';
  $i = strrpos($file,'.');
  $filename = substr($file,0,$i);
  $extension = substr($file,$i+1);
?>

<?php

$pieces = explode('.', $file)

$filename = $pieces[0];
$extension = $pieces[1];
?>

[rhodesa]

<?php

$pieces = explode('.', $file)

$filename = $pieces[0];
$extension = $pieces[1];
?>

 

i wouldn't do it that way, as a filename like some.file.txt would produce unexpected results

[Jibberish]

Thats true, whereas strrpos gets the last occurrence of the search term, ignore me

Thanks chaps!
