How to get the filename without the extension in php?

Question

I'm using the following code to display the name of a CSV file before the contents of the CSV file are displayed on a PHP page. It works well and displays the name of the file as it should:

CODE:

    #$result .= '<h3>'.$prog.'</h3>'.PHP_EOL; // OLD STYLE
    $result .= '<h3>'.$prog. ' '.$_POST['filename'].'</h3>'.PHP_EOL; // NEW STYLE
    $result .= '</div>'.PHP_EOL;
    $result .= $contents.PHP_EOL;

Problem is, I don't want the file name to display the extension (in my code example, it is .csv)

Can anyone assist in the right code needed to remove the extension (.CSV)...?

If you know the file extension is CSV you can just remove CSV from the string, or the last four characters. Why make it any harder? — Andreas, Jan 05 '18 at 04:54

// Use this code I hope it's useful ..
=> The basename() function returns the filename

<?php
$path = "filename.CSV"; // set your file name 

//Show filename with file extension
echo basename($path) ."<br/>";

//Show filename without file extension
echo basename($path,".CSV");
?>

OutPut :-
filename.CSV
filename

OR

// you also use pathinfo() function .

$file_name = pathinfo('filename');

echo $file_name['dirname'], "\n";
echo $file_name['basename'], "\n";
echo $file_name['extension'], "\n";
echo $file_name['filename'], "\n"
