Stripping the File from a Path (upload)

[Anon]

Hi All,

I've searched quite well (I think) but can't find a solution to my problem.

I've got a little upload script which uses the FILE field in the form, this gives the following value:

c:\something\anotherdir\file.foo

I want to get only the part: file.foo But I've no clue how to solve this, anyone who can help me will be life time rewarded 🙂)

Look for the global array $HTTP_POST_FILES in the manual (Chapter 19. Handling file uploads). It has some cute elements, like:

$target = $HTTP_POST_FILES ['userfile'] ['name'];
$format = $HTTP_POST_FILES ['userfile'] ['type'];
$sizebytes = $HTTP_POST_FILES ['userfile'] ['size'];

The ['name'] element is just what you asked Santa.
