How to strip the extensions
Example
In directory Dir1 are the next files:
Dir2
Image.jpg
file.txt
index.html

the scripts prints:

image.jpg
file.txt

and i want it to print
image
file

Can someone code that for me in this coding?

<?

$extensions = "(html|htm)"; 
$handle = @opendir($txts); 

while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle))){ 
    if ($file != "." && $file != ".." && (ereg($extensions, $file) <> 1) && !is_dir($file)) 
		{   

          echo '<tr><td height="15"><a href=" ' . $file . ' " > '.$file.'</a></td></tr>';
		 } 
}      

closedir($handle); 
?>

Try this:

<?

$extensions = "(html|htm)"; 
$handle = @opendir($txts); 

while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle)))
{
if ($file != "." && $file != ".." && (ereg($extensions, $file) <> 1) && !is_dir($file)) 
{   

$ext = explode(".",$file);          

echo '<tr><td height="15"><a href=" ' . $file . ' " > '.$ext[0].'</a></td></tr>';
} 
}      

closedir($handle); 
?>

What if your file is something like "a.filename.with.points.in.it" ??? It will only print "a"... not really efficient !!

That's simply ! Invert the string, find the first point, remove all between the start and the point, then invert again.. !

oops... didn't think of that... :o

how do you invert a filename or a string?

[suntra]

Use strrev($string) where $string is the string to reverse...

I mean, you're not using the extension or anything, so why go to the trouble of keeping it?

$shortened_name = substr($name, 0, strrpos($name, '.'));


$name = 'log.2002.11.28.html';
echo substr($name,0,strrpos($name,'.'));

Well i have no idee how to do that then? Can you or somebody code that for me within this.

<?

$extensions = "(html|htm)"; 
$handle = @opendir($txts); 

while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle))){ 
    if ($file != "." && $file != ".." && (ereg($extensions, $file) <> 1) && !is_dir($file)) 
        {   

          echo '<tr><td height="15"><a href=" ' . $file . ' " > '.$file.'</a></td></tr>';
         } 
}      

closedir($handle); 
?>

Read some of the previous posts. Apply a bit of thought.

Advice i took.. People can help you here only so much.. But Server Side Languages can be coded so differently.. Like 1 person may do the same thing as you and can do it differently..

Ok in the meaning of that.. Try what people give.. Then experiment on your own.. Who knows you may start to learn🙂
