Dragen Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 Hi, I've got several links saved in a colum of a table. the column is 'url', for obvious reasons.. all the links are something like: /mysite/thisdirectory/myfile.zip The last filetype is not neccessarily the same on all the links. What I want to do is call a function that can echo the final file name, without the other directorys listed.. so just myfile.zip How can I do this? Thanks Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/47829-solved-finding-filename-of-url/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest prozente Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 echo basename('/mysite/thisdirectory/myfile.zip'); Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/47829-solved-finding-filename-of-url/#findComment-233697 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragen Posted April 20, 2007 Author Share Posted April 20, 2007 ah thanks! so simple... I thought it'd be something using explode.. both ideas work great! I'm using the basename() though, simply because it's just less code Thanks Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/47829-solved-finding-filename-of-url/#findComment-233700 Share on other sites More sharing options...
