pathinfo function to get file details of a file path

We can use pathinfo to get details of the file path. We can input a file path and get the directory name, basename (file name with extension), file name without extension and the file extension. The function pathinfo returns an array.

<?Php
//$file = $_SERVER["SCRIPT_NAME"]; // Takes the current file name
$file='http://127.0.0.1/t/file/path.php'; // Path is stored in Variable
$path_details=pathinfo($file);
//echo print_r($path_details);
echo $path_details['dirname']; // Output is: <i>http://127.0.0.1/t/file</i>

echo "<br>";
echo $path_details['basename']; // Output is: <i>path.php</i>
echo "<br>";
echo $path_details['extension']; // Output is: <i>php</i>
echo "<br>";
echo $path_details['filename']; // Output is: <i>path</i>

?>
