How to Get filename from a variable (url) in php?

Question

That is not about getting file name from the url of current page. I have a php file like that.

Answer 1

You can also use string functions like strrpos to get the last position of '/' and then use the substr and strlen functions to get the last part of the string.

$fileurl = 'http://example.com/filepath/filepath2/myfile.doc'; $file_name=substr($fileurl,strrpos($fileurl,'/')+1,strlen($fileurl));

echo $file_name;
