denoteone Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 I would like to split a variable at the "." and then save the part to the right in a new variable called $ext. I am pretty sure that I would use split but I am having and issue. $file = "mypage.php"; $ext = split($file."."); echo $ext[1]; should read php Thanks Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/169794-solved-help-with-split/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
premiso Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 $file = "mypage.php"; list($file, $ext) = explode(".", $file); echo $file . " has the extension of " . $ext; I tend to prefer explode for something simple like this. Also look at list. Alternatively there is a pathinfo function in mysql php which breaks that out into an associative array so $array['extension'] would contain that, incase the file name may have multiple periods in it.
