You can STFW and RTFM. This list should never be your first place
to ask simple questions.
In any case....
<?
$split = explode('.',strtolower($fileName));
$name = $split[0];
$ext = $split[1];
?>
Flame job aside, that's going to fail on a compound extension such as
".tar.gz" by just returning .tar
so.
it.will.fail.this.one.to.txt
and a fix would also fail because you would have to hardcord everygoddamn
ending if thats what youre after. How many do you care to count for?
I would say stick with the last dot, if its not particulary often you stumble
over those .tar.bz2 endings.
You could also stick with the first, i.e.:
<?
$split = explode('.',strtolower($fileName),1);
$name = $split[0];
$ext = $split[1];
?>
