getting image extension

[envexlabs]

Hey,

 

I am pulling a value from a database that looks like this:

 

/uploads/images/picture.jpg

 

How would i go about getting just the .jpg?

 

Thanks,

strrchr() is what you need.

could also use explode()

 

which would break the string into an array of strings based on the / character.  then, count() the array and use the last entry to retrieve the filename (since the last item will always be the file).

alternatively, rather than counting the array and doing things manually, you could use end() to get the last item in the array.

i always love finding little gems in the PHP manual that make my life easier - that's one of them.
