Parsing Data

[mcmuney]

Example: $filename = "image.jpg";

 

I'd like to display the $filename as "image" and ".jpg" separately. In other workds, show everything LEFT of the "." and everything RIGHT of the "." (including the dot) separately.

 

What's the easiest method?

<?php
  $filename = "image.jpg";
  $dot=strpos($filename,".");
  $first_part=substr($filename,0,$dot);
  $second_part=substr($filename,$dot);
  echo "first part =$first_part<br />\n";
  echo "second part =$second_part"; 
?>

<?php
$filename="image.jpg";
$split=explode(".",$filenames");
$name=$split[0];
$extension=$split[1];
?>

Yes but

<?php
$filename="image.jpg";
$split=explode(".",$filenames");
$name=$split[0];
$extension=$split[1];
?>

 

does not include the dot as request!

 

<?php

$filename="image.jpg";

$split=explode(".",$filename);

$name=$split[0];

$extension=".".$split[1];

?>
