[SOLVED] split filename string into name & extension variables

[delphi123]

Hi I've got a filename, eg:  test.jpg

 

I need to split this into two variables, one that holds the name and the other that holds the extension (including the .)

 

ie

 

$name = test;

$extension = .jpg

 

Can anyone point me in the right direction to how I can do this?  I've been playing with strstr() but I can't figure out how to get it to return the right bit!

figured it out!

 

function strip_ext($name)
{
     $ext = strrchr($name, '.');
     if($ext !== false)
     {
         $name = substr($name, 0, -strlen($ext));
     }
     return $name;
	 }
	 // demonstration
 $filename = $newimage;
 // get the name of the file without extension and add ''_thumb'' to it
 $filename_thumb = strip_ext($filename)."_thumb.".end(explode('.',$filename));
	 echo $filename_thumb;

 

Hope this help ssomeone!
