Hi all,
I just need to delete .jpg form the end of a variable stored like this:
$name = $_POST["name"];
Thanks
Max
ps
echo stristr($name, '.', true); // As of PHP 5.3.0, outputs *content of string BEFORE the first full stop*
dosnt work. im guessing its because my php on my server is a different version than 5.3.0
this is the code i tested just to make sure it wasnt a silly mistake

$name = str_replace('.jpg','',$_POST["name"]);
This is the easiest way. But only if you are sure that are all jpg.

Ah okay that works fine. I actually found this solution just as you sent your reply which is:
That works too but only gets rid of the last 4 letters. In my case im sure they are all jpg but other people may want to use another method.
Thanks for your help.
And thanks allexxei too
$name = substr($_POST['name'], 0, -4); //gets rid of last 4 characters. remove the ", 0" to get rid of first 4 characters. Refer to http://uk2.php.net/manual/en/function.substr.php

function remove_ext($str) {
$noext = preg_replace('/(.+)\..*$/', '$1', $str);
print "input: $str\n";
print "output: $noext\n\n";
}
I found it on php.net Must work very good and shoul remove any extension
You should remove the prints and addd a return line
function remove_ext($str) {
$noext = preg_replace('/(.+)\..*$/', '$1', $str);
return $noext;
}
$noext = preg_replace('/(.+)\..*$/', '$1', $str);
print "input: $str\n";
print "output: $noext\n\n";
}

Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the Universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots. So far, the Universe is winning.
