How do I get a file extension in PHP?

Question

This is a question you can read everywhere on the web with various answers:

$ext = end(explode(\'.\', $filename));
$ext = substr(strrchr($filename, \'.\'), 1         


        

Answer 1

As long as it does not contain a path you can also use:

array_pop(explode('.', $fname))

Where $fname is a name of the file, for example: my_picture.jpg. And the outcome would be: jpg
