// Other variables
$MAX_FILENAME_LENGTH = 260;
$file_name = $_FILES[$upload_name][\'name\'];
//echo \"testing-\".$file_name.\"

    Assign the result of explode to a variable and pass that variable to end:

    $tmp = explode('.', $file_name);
    $file_extension = end($tmp);
    

    The problem is, that end requires a reference, because it modifies the internal representation of the array (i.e. it makes the current element pointer point to the last element).

    The result of explode('.', $file_name) cannot be turned into a reference. This is a restriction in the PHP language, that probably exists for simplicity reasons.

    PHP offical Manual : end()

    Parameters

    array
    

    The array. This array is passed by reference because it is modified by the function. This means you must pass it a real variable and not a function returning an array because only actual variables may be passed by reference.

    Everyone else has already given you the reason you're getting an error, but here's the best way to do what you want to do: $file_extension = pathinfo($file_name, PATHINFO_EXTENSION);

    Just as you can't index the array immediately, you can't call end on it either. Assign it to a variable first, then call end.

    $basenameAndExtension = explode('.', $file_name);
    $ext = end($basenameAndExtension);

    PHP complains because end() expects a reference to something that it wants to change (which can be a variable only). You however pass the result of explode() directly to end() without saving it to a variable first. At the moment when explode() returns your value, it exists only in memory and no variable points to it. You cannot create a reference to something (or to something unknown in the memory), that does not exists.

    Or in other words: PHP does not know, if the value you give him is the direct value or just a pointer to the value (a pointer is also a variable (integer), which stores the offset of the memory, where the actual value resides). So PHP expects here a pointer (reference) always.

    But since this is still just a notice (not even deprecated) in PHP 7, you can savely ignore notices and use the ignore-operator instead of completely deactivating error reporting for notices:

    $file_extension = @end(explode('.', $file_name));

    Since it raise a flag for over 10 years, but works just fine and return the expected value, a little stfu operator is the goodiest bad practice you are all looking for:

    $file_extension = @end(explode('.', $file_name));
