Remove extencion .zip from filenames

[ztealmax]

Hi how would i remove the extencion .zip when echoing filenames?

 

Using this code:

<?php
  
  $dir = "thisisapath/";
  $dh  = opendir($dir);
  while (false !== ($filename = readdir($dh))) 
{
   $pattern = '/\.zip$/';
   if(preg_match($pattern,$filename))
   {
      /*    You can proceed because the file has the extension .zip       */
echo $filename . "<br>";
   }
}

?>

 

//Cheers :-)

echo str_replace('.zip','',$filename);

[metrostars]

you could do $filename = ereg_replace(".zip", "", "$filename");

 

and then echo that.

 

EDIT: BEat me to it.

echo substr($filename,0,-4); // the filename minus the last four chars

 

(Don't use regular expressions for constant strings if you don't need anything special that regex would provide.  It's faster to use str_replace.)

Now for an even more stupid question

 

if it echos out dir/filename (.zip extencion now removed using this code)

$filename = ereg_replace(".zip", "", "$filename");

 

Now if i would like to also remove the search path dir/ thats

infront of the filename, how would i do that?

echo preg_replace('|.*/(.*)\.zip$|i','$1',$filename);
