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

Use substr($path, strrpos($path,'.')+1);. It is the fastest method of all compares.
