displaying files in a directory, removing extensions

[calvin_leonhart]

Hi everyone.

Okay... I'm using this code to display the files from a directory:

	$files = array();  

	$dir = opendir("./categories");  

	while(($file = readdir($dir)) !== false) {  

 		if($file !== '.' && $file !== '..' && !is_dir($file)) {  

   			$files[] = $file;  

 		}  

	}  

	closedir($dir);  

	sort($files);  

	for($i=0; $i<count($files); $i++) {  

		$it = str_replace("_", " ", $files[$i]); // replace underscore with whitespace
		echo "<a href=\"index.php?op=view_category&cat=$files[$i]\">$it<br>";
	} 

It displays the files, but I haven't programed PHP in a really long time. How would I be able to remove the file extensions? For example, it displays like this:

FILE1.TXT
FILE2.TXT
FILE3.TXT
FILE4.TXT
FILE5.TXT

Thanks alot. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Try changing this line

$files[] = $file;
# to
$files[] = (strpos($file, '.') === FALSE) ? $file : substr($file, 0, strrpos($file, '.'));

That just does a check to see if there is an extension.
If not, use the whole file name, if so, grab all the text
up to the last occurance of the .
