file name without extension [duplicate]

Question

Is there any method of obtaining the name of the file uploaded to a server without extension, in PHP? I used the $_FILES['file']['name'] but it returns the extension too.

Answer 1

$filename = pathinfo($_FILES['file']['name'], PATHINFO_FILENAME);

pathinfo is a core PHP function since 4.0.3, and the PATHINFO_FILENAME option was added in 5.2.

Answer 2

Use PHP basename() function.

string basename ( string $path [, string $suffix ] )

Answer 3

Yes, you can do it as:

$filenameOnly = array_pop(array_reverse(explode(".", $yourfilename)));

Hope that helps

Answer 4

preg_replace('^(.*)\..+?$', $_FILES['file']['name']);

Answer 5

Try basename or use a regex to do it indiscriminately:

preg_replace('/(.*)\\.[^\\.]*/', '$1', $filename);

Answer 6

Use pathinfo().
