<?php
$file = 'archve.tar.gz';
$pathinfo_extension = pathinfo($file, PATHINFO_EXTENSION);
$pathinfo_name = pathinfo($file, PATHINFO_FILENAME);
$substr_right_name = substr($file, 0, strrpos($file, '.'));
$substr_right_extension = substr($file, strrpos($file, '.'));
$substr_left_name = substr($file, 0, strpos($file, '.'));
$substr_left_extension = substr($file, strpos($file, '.'));
list($list_name, $list_extension) = explode('.', $file);
echo "
Original : $file
Pathinfo : $pathinfo_name / $pathinfo_extension
Substr (right) : $substr_right_name / $substr_right_extension
Substr (left) : $substr_left_name / $substr_left_extension
List : $list_name / $list_extension
";
?>
outputs ...
Original : archve.tar.gz
Pathinfo : archve.tar / gz
Substr (right) : archve.tar / .gz
Substr (left) : archve / .tar.gz
List : archve / tar
The only option that seems to be working here (and one that wasn't
previously suggested) is to use
$substr_left_name = substr($file, 0, strpos($file, '.'));
$substr_left_extension = substr($file, strpos($file, '.'));
