Remove file extension on file upload

I am looking for ways to remove extensions but from what i found in google are really bad examples on how to do it. 

 $from = preg_replace('/\.[^.]+$/','',$from);

Something like this, any idea on how to do it?

Check out the basename function, which should do that for you. Note that it will also strip any folder names in the path.

  • No, it won't. basename() only presents him with the filename and extension. – nand Feb 12 '12 at 19:05
  • I didn't understand your comment. `basename` will strip out the path and the extension and leave the base filename. That's what the OP asked for, if I understood correctly. – Avner Shahar-Kashtan Feb 12 '12 at 19:07
