Splitting a File Path Name into Parts in PHP
How To Break a File Path Name into Parts in PHP?
✍: FYIcenter.com
If you have a file name, and want to get different parts of the file name, you can use the pathinfo() function. It breaks the file name into 3 parts: directory name, file base name and file extension; and returns them in an array. Here is a PHP script example on how to use pathinfo():
<?php $pathName = "/temp/download/todo.txt"; $parts = pathinfo($pathName); print_r($parts); print("\n"); ?>
This script will print:
Array ( [dirname] => /temp/download [basename] => todo.txt [extension] => txt )
