help me in this regard

Go ahead and try this :

    /**
     * @static
     * @param $filename
     * @param bool $comma
     * @return bool|string
     */
    public static function getFileExtension($filename, $comma = false) {
      if (strrpos($filename, '.')){
        $extension = substr($filename, strrpos($filename, '.'));

        return $comma ? $extension : substr($extension, 1);
      } else
         return false;

   }

Also, make sure you use this only on upload
