Php code to extract filename from urls.

October 25, 2009 - Posted by admin

This code will be useful to extract the names of the files from url

For E.g http://unicode.org/charts/PDF/U0B80.pdf

//Url to extract
$url='http://unicode.org/charts/PDF/U0B80.pdf';

//Code
$file1=preg_match("#(.*)\/(.*)(.pdf||.doc)#",$url,$file2);
$filename1=$file2[2];

//Outputs U0B80.pdf
echo $filename1;

This would output U0B80.pdf
