Explode/Parsing a filepath help

[savagenoob]

I am passing a filepath into a variable like "D:\Example\Next\~3880-0.TMP" and need to strip everything but the file name. For a reason unknown to me, PHP is throwing an error while trying to explode \ like "$File=explode("\",$string);", then I was going to use end() to get to the last part of the array, but its not working. Thanks

Use the basename function.

 

The problem you're having is that the backslash is the escape character in PHP so you would have to do

<?php
$File=explode("\\",$string);
?>
