explode()

[divinedesigns1]

hey guys, i got another small problem, im using the explode() function to get the extension of a file, but when i use the var_dump() function i only get back

string 'jpg' (length=3)

so this is my code

$ext = end(explode(".", $upload));

and the dot doesnt output when i upload the image also when using

$ext = end(explode(".", $upload));

it outputs this error

( ! ) Strict standards: Only variables should be passed by reference in C:\wamp\www\Newshyt\upload.php on line 33

but when i do it like this

$ext = explode(".", $upload);

it removed the error, was the upload code that give me the error was correct or not?

end() takes the internal array pointer to last index and return its value and the passed parameter is passed by reference (see the manual you will see '&' before parameter.which means it is passing by reference. you cant reference which does not exist. when you use this.

$ext = end(explode(".", $upload));

explode() returns the array. you need to store it variable first to let it be passed by reference

[color=#000000]$arr=[/color][color=#000000]explode(".", $upload)[/color][color=#000000]$ext = end($arr);[/color]

hey guys, i got another small problem, im using the explode() function to get the extension of a file, but when i use the var_dump() function i only get back

as you are using end(). it will return the last element

and the dot doesnt output when i upload the image also when using

dot will not be outputed. dot use as delimeter here.http://php.net/explodehttp://php.net/end

As a sidenote, if you're trying to read the file name and extension, a better way is with pathinfo().
