[RESOLVED] PHP FILENAME

[icm]

How do i:

I have a php script, say example.php,

how do i make my script display the filename within the file, so that for example somewhere in the script i have echo "$filename"; the filename is displayed on the screen (my echo script is probably wrong but im rushing this!)

THEN!!! how do i take away the ".php" from the file name and replace it with .html

so that the page example.php echo's example.html
and the page template.php echo's template.html

Thank you all, your help is much appreciated

Could you explain in my case how to use this, im new to what looks to me as a complicated part of PHP!

$SERVER['PHP_SELF'] would give you the path & filename. I think basename($SERVER['PHP_SELF'], ".php" ) will give you the name trunc itself.

try:

$name = basename($_SERVER['PHP_SELF'],  ".php" );
$name .= ".html";

lets give it a go!

Or, to use str_replace():

echo str_replace('php', 'html', basename($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']));
