How to return just file name using glob() in php

Question

How can I just return the file name. $image is printing absolute path name?

<?php $directory = Yii::getPathOfAlias('webroot').'/uploads/'; $images = glob($directory . "*.{jpg,JPG,jpeg,JPEG,png,PNG}", GLOB_BRACE);  foreach($images as $image)    echo $image ?> 

All I want is the file name in the specific directory not the absolute name.

Answer 1

Use php's basename

Returns trailing name component of path

<?php $directory = Yii::getPathOfAlias('webroot').'/uploads/'; $images = glob($directory . "*.{jpg,JPG,jpeg,JPEG,png,PNG}", GLOB_BRACE);  foreach($images as $image)    echo basename($image); ?> 

Answer 2

Instead of basename, you could chdir before you glob, so the results do not contain the path, e.g.:

<?php $directory = Yii::getPathOfAlias('webroot').'/uploads/'; chdir($directory); // probably add some error handling around this $images = glob("*.{jpg,JPG,jpeg,JPEG,png,PNG}", GLOB_BRACE);  foreach($images as $image)    echo $image; ?> 

This is probably a little faster, but won't make any significant difference unless you have tons of files
