Summary of how to get file extension in PHP

This time I will bring you a summary of how PHP obtains file extensions. What are theprecautionsfor PHP to obtain file extensions? The following is a practical case, let's take a look.

This is a written test question I encountered when applying for an internship:

Use more than five methods to obtain the extension of a file.

Requirements: dir/upload.image.jpg, find .jpg or jpg,

Must use PHP's own processing function for processing, the method cannot be obviously repeated, and can be encapsulated into a function, For example,get_ext1($file_name),get_ext2($file_name)

The following are five methods I summarized by referring to online information. They are all relatively simple and do not say much. Say, go directly to the code:

Method 1:

function getExt1($filename) { $arr = explode('.',$filename); return array_pop($arr);; }

Method 2:

function getExt2($filename) { $ext = strrchr($filename,'.'); return $ext; }

Method 3:

function getExt3($filename) { $pos = strrpos($filename, '.'); $ext = substr($filename, $pos); return $ext; }

Method 4:

function getExt4($filename) { $arr = pathinfo($filename); $ext = $arr['extension']; return $ext; }

Method 5:

function getExt5($filename) { $str = strrev($filename); return strrev(strchr($str,'.',true)); }
