7.To find the filename ( with extension ) of a file from the absolute or relative URL


 

The basename() function takes the absolute or relative url  and finds the filename with extension.
   This function looks for the last (forward slash) / and returns anything after it as the filename.    Trying to find the basename of  a string without even a single / would return the same string.    Using the same function, the name of a folder or a directory can be found


 
<?php
   $url=$_POST['url'];
   $filename=basename($url);
   ?>
   
   <html>
   <form name="frm" method="post">
   Enter the URL (absolute or relative) : <input type="text" name="url"  size=25>
   <br>
   
   <input type="submit" name="submit">
   <?php
   

   if($_POST)
   {
           echo "The FileName specified in the URL is $filename<br>";
   }
   ?>
   </form>
   </html>
