file name

[shark007]

Howdy.

I have a function that picks a random file (xxx.mp3) from a directory. I need to then get the name of that file in string form. So if it picks xxx.mp3 (rather than yyyy.mp3), I need to end up with "xxx". Is there a function (or other easy way) of doing this?

 

Thanks.

<?php

$filename = 'xxx.mp3';

list ($name, $ext) = explode ('.', $filename);

echo $name;

[tarun]

<?php
$pathinfo = pathinfo("xxx.mp3");

echo $pathinfo["dirname"]; // Gets The Dir That xxx.mp3 Is Found In (uploads/music/mp3s)
echo $pathinfo["basename"]; // Gets The File Name And Extension Together (xxx.mp3)
echo $pathinfo["extension"]; // Gets The File Extension (mp3)
echo $pathinfo["filename"]; // Gets The Filename (xxx) --- Since PHP 5.2.0
?> 

 

 

 

 

ThanX,
