If you have a file NAME, and want to get different parts of the file name, you can use the pathinfo() function. It breaks the file name into 3 parts: directory name, file base name and file extension; and returns them in an ARRAY. Here is a PHP script example on how to use pathinfo():
<?php
$PATHNAME = "/temp/download/todo.txt";
$parts = pathinfo($pathName);
print_r($parts);
print("\n");
?>
This script will print:
Array
(
[dirname] => /temp/download
[basename] => todo.txt
[extension] => txt
)
