I have this PHP code:
function ShowFileExtension($filepath)
{
preg_match('/[^?]*/', $filepath, $matches);
$string = $matches[0];
$pattern = preg_split('/\./', $string, -1, PREG_SPLIT_OFFSET_CAPTURE);
if(count($pattern) > 1)
{
$filenamepart = $pattern[count($pattern)-1][0];
preg_match('/[^?]*/', $filenamepart, $matches);
return strtolower($matches[0]);
}
}
If I have a file named my.zip
, this function returns .zip
.
I want to do the reverse, I want the function to return my
without the extension.
The file is just a string in a variable.
No need for all that. Check out pathinfo(), it gives you all the components of your path.
Example from the manual:
$path_parts = pathinfo('/www/htdocs/index.html');
echo $path_parts['dirname'], "\n";
echo $path_parts['basename'], "\n";
echo $path_parts['extension'], "\n";
echo $path_parts['filename'], "\n"; // filename is only since PHP 5.2.0
Output of the code:
/www/htdocs
index.html
html
index
And alternatively you can get only certain parts like:
echo pathinfo('/www/htdocs/index.html', PATHINFO_EXTENSION); // outputs html
