I have a bunch of FLV files. Some of them are named weird (automatically) and have more than one "." in their filename.

 

For example, "blahblah.blahsomemore.flv"

 

But then I also have files like "blahblah.flv"

 

Basically I need to get a string that's the same name of the FLV, but with a jpg extension.

 

I either need to find the lastIndexOf('.'); (my flash knowledge) or just find '.flv' and replace it with '.jpg'

 

The thing throwing me off is files with a '.' in the middle of their name

$string = "blahblah.blahblah.flv";
$tokens = explode(".", $string);
array_pop($tokens);
$stringNew = implode(".", $tokens);
$stringNew .= ".jpg";
echo $stringNew;

 

untested but that should work.

 

edit: fixed a few things, and tested, output:

blahblah.blahblah.jpg
