$path_parts = pathinfo(‘/www/htdocs/inc/lib.inc.php’);

echo $path_parts['dirname'], “\n”;
echo $path_parts['basename'], “\n”;
echo $path_parts['extension'], “\n”;
echo $path_parts['filename'], “\n”; // since PHP 5.2.0

The above example will output:

/www/htdocs/inc
lib.inc.php
php
lib.inc

Funny… lol,

You can remove the file extension even if it’s 100 characters long with this,

$no_extension = implode(‘.’, explode(‘.’, $filename, -1));

Of course there is better, just think about it…
