file name without extension

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.

wow you get 5 seperate answers/methods that all do the same thing! happy days! — fire, Nov 14 '11 at 15:42

$filename = pathinfo($_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.

Use PHP basename() function.

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

Yes, you can do it as:

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

Hope that helps

Try basename or use a regex to do it indiscriminately:

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