How do I get a file name from a full path with PHP?

For example, how do I get Output.map

from

F:\Program Files\SSH Communications Security\SSH Secure Shell\Output.map

with PHP?

Solution

  • You're looking for basename.

    The example from the PHP manual:

    <?php
$path = "/home/httpd/html/index.php";
$file = basename($path);         // $file is set to "index.php"
$file = basename($path, ".php"); // $file is set to "index"
?>
