I want the only filename with extension in the following string

[sasi]

Hello everybody,

 

        I want the only filename with extension in the following string, ex:/home/localftp1/DTFFiles/tr_his1240.dtf

so here the tr_his1240.dtf is the only file name, so from the database i will get a set of records from that each record contains the above (path) string and in that i want only the filenames from each record.

 

please respond to this as early as possible.

Try something like this:

$string = "/home/localftp1/DTFFiles/tr_his1240.dtf";
preg_match('|/([^/]+)\z|', $string, $match);
echo $match[1];

wouldnt maybe pathinfo work?

 

$filename = pathinfo("/home/localftp1/DTFFiles/tr_his1240.dtf");
$filename = $filename['basename'];
echo $filename;
