get current file name

[nassoit]

I need to get the name of the current file. I know how to use $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] to get the full URL relative to the root, but how can I "extract" only the file name from the URL.

Example:

value returned through $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']
products/casting/170-008-01.html

value I want to "extract"
170-008-01

thanks,
peter

try this:

$path = $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];
$file = basename($path,'.html');

echo $file;

Thanks for the quick response. It's exactly what I was looking for.
