Basename help...

[Anon]

Hey everyone, when i run this script, it says like this:

<?php
$file = basename ($userfile);
copy($userfile, $file);
?>

In that BASENAME part, it always turns $file into 'php2'

Not the filename I want, just PHP2.

Can someone please gimmie some help as to how i can take a long url, and take JUSt the file name?

Thanks a ton!

What is the content of the $userfile variable?
If it is a URL, I can imagine things go wrong because basename() was made to work with filepaths, not urls.

You could just look for the last "/" in the url, and take whatever is on the right of that slash.

It is a FILENAME. NOT A URL.

Thanks anyway. Can you think of anything that may be wrong with it that would cause it to not work?

Thanks alot!
