He wants just "index" though, instead of "index.html"
You can do it a variety of ways. You can use basename() like Jonathan
said, and just strip off the last 5 characters using substr().
Or you can use either of the following two regular expressions.
preg_match('~/([^/]*)\.html$~', $source, $dest);
ereg('/([^/]*)\.html$',$source,$dest);
