Anyone know of how i can get the type of file?

ex :

function ("file.ccc");

Return

"ccc"

Any help would be cool

the ".ccc" is an extention.

$filename="hallo.pl";
echo substr($filename,strrpos($filename,".")+1);

Which means:
print the substring of $filename, starting at one position after the last occurance of "." in $filename.

hi,

try the command "file file.ccc". this works fine on any UNIX & clones... thik you can use this command with the system() fn & test the output of the return value. certainly this is a way out... or try is_file(), is_link(), is_executable() etc.... but, obviously, there is more than one way to do it...

good luck...
