You can STFW and RTFM. This list should never be your first place
to ask simple questions.
Besides, it confuses us.
We think it's a trick question and have to think very hard about it.
After realizing that it's a simple question, then we get all strange
and stuff and start slobbering. Which in turn, shorts out our
keyboards and we start typing all sorts of funny stuff. So, just
don't do it.
It was bad enough that you used the variable named $extension and
then asked what came before it, which is more a prefix type question
-- see how confusing asking a simple question can become. So, just
don't do it -- or did I already say that?
Cheers,
