How to get the file name extension without actually knowing the extension
0
I have been trying this phpcode to get the extension of a file without actually knowing it. But I get this error Undefined offest: 0
My file name looks like this: adImage-9-3-1
Is it still possible to get the extension when file name consists of hyphen?
This is my php code:
$fileName = "adImage-" . $ImageId . "-" . $adId . "-" . $userId . "*"; //used * to check for other possible results
$fileInfo = glob($fileName);
$fileExt = explode(".", $fileInfo[0]); //throws Undefined Offset:0 error
$fileActualExt = $fileExt[1];
print_r($fileActualExt); //empty output
I get this error as mentioned above:
Undefined offest: 0

Glob will returns an array containing the matched files/directories, an empty array if no file matched or FALSE on error. are you sur $fileInfo is not an empty array? Perhaps your missing a directory path to your images unless they are located at the same place your fil is?

You can use this on your unknown file to see it's extension.
pathinfo($file, PATHINFO_EXTENSION)
to see the result :
var_dump(pathinfo($file, PATHINFO_EXTENSION));
