pathinfo
(PHP 4 >= 4.0.3, PHP 5, PHP 7, PHP 8)
pathinfo — 返回文件路径的信息
说明
pathinfo(string
$path, int $flags = PATHINFO_ALL): array|string
pathinfo() 返回一个关联数组包含有 path
的信息。返回关联数组还是字符串取决于 flags。
注意:
有关取得当前路径信息的说明，请阅读 预定义变量 一节。
注意:
pathinfo() 纯粹基于输入字符串操作， 它不会受实际文件系统和类似 "
.." 的路径格式影响。
警告
pathinfo() 是本地化的，所以为了让它能正确地解析一个包含多字节编码的路径， 必须使用 setlocale() 函数来设置地区信息。
参数
-
path -
要解析的路径。
-
flags -
如果指定了，将会返回指定元素；它们包括：
PATHINFO_DIRNAME、PATHINFO_BASENAME、PATHINFO_EXTENSION、PATHINFO_FILENAME。如果没有指定
flags默认是返回全部的单元。
返回值
如果没有传入 options ，将会返回包括以下单元的数组 array：dirname，basename
和 extension（如果有），以及filename。
注意:
如果
path有一个以上的扩展名，PATHINFO_EXTENSION只返回最后一个，而PATHINFO_FILENAME仅剥离最后一个。 （参考第一个示例）。
注意:
如果
path没有扩展名，返回数据中就不会有extension元素。（参考第二个示例）
注意:
如果
path中的basename以点开始， 那后面的字符串将被解释为extension， 并且filename为空。（参考第三个示例）
如果 flags 存在的，
则返回一个包含请求元素的 string。
范例
示例 #1 pathinfo() 例子
<?php
$path_parts = pathinfo('/www/htdocs/inc/lib.inc.php');
echo $path_parts['dirname'], "\n";
echo $path_parts['basename'], "\n";
echo $path_parts['extension'], "\n";
echo $path_parts['filename'], "\n";
?>
以上例程会输出：
/www/htdocs/inc lib.inc.php php lib.inc
示例 #2 pathinfo() 对比空扩展名和无扩展名之间区别的示例
<?php
$path_parts = pathinfo('/path/emptyextension.');
var_dump($path_parts['extension']);
$path_parts = pathinfo('/path/noextension');
var_dump($path_parts['extension']);
?>
以上例程的输出类似于：
string(0) "" Notice: Undefined index: extension in test.php on line 6 NULL
示例 #3 pathinfo() 形如 .file 的示例
<?php
print_r(pathinfo('/some/path/.test'));
?>
以上例程的输出类似于：
Array
(
[dirname] => /some/path
[basename] => .test
[extension] => test
[filename] =>
)
参见
- dirname() - 返回路径中的目录部分
- basename() - 返回路径中的文件名部分
- parse_url() - 解析 URL，返回其组成部分
- realpath() - 返回规范化的绝对路径名

Simple example of pathinfo and array destructuring in PHP 7:
<?php
[ 'basename' => $basename, 'dirname' => $dirname ] = pathinfo('/www/htdocs/inc/lib.inc.php');
var_dump($basename, $dirname);
// result:
// string(11) "lib.inc.php"
// string(15) "/www/htdocs/inc"
?>

Note:
pathinfo() is locale aware, so for it to parse a path containing multibyte characters correctly, the matching locale must be set using the setlocale() function.
Reality:
var_dump(pathinfo('中国人2016.xls'));
exit();
array(4) { 'dirname' => string(1) "." 'basename' => string(8) "2016.xls" 'extension' => string(3) "xls" 'filename' => string(4) "2016" }
Expect(Solve):
setlocale(LC_ALL, 'zh_CN.UTF-8');
var_dump(pathinfo('中国人2016.xls'));
exit();
array(4) { 'dirname' => string(1) "." 'basename' => string(17) "中国人2016.xls" 'extension' => string(3) "xls" 'filename' => string(13) "中国人2016" }

unexpected, but longtime (all versions?) consistent, behaviour with trailing slash (Linux):
with Linux I am used, to add a trailing slash,
or just to keep that of the command line completion by [TAB],
to avoid mistyping a path on cp or mv with a same filename instead of a directory
using CLI '$ php -a' the result is in the next line
(but can also be done by script, webserver, etc.)
<?php // using php tags here only for syntax highlighting
// assuming getcwd() is /home/USER/ with existing subdir www.2021-05/
// cause path must exist, else 'false'
php > echo realpath('www.2021-05/');
/home/USER/www.2021-05
php > var_dump(pathinfo('/home/USER/www.2021-05/'));
array(4) {
["dirname"]=> string(10) "/home/USER"
["basename"]=> string(11) "www.2021-05"
["extension"]=> string(7) "2021-05"
["filename"]=> string(3) "www"
}
php > echo dirname('/home/USER/www.2021-05/');
/home/USER
php > echo basename('/home/USER/www.2021-05/');
www.2021-05
?>
with my own written functions, I would first split path from filename at the
_last_ slash (plus some extra for root-slash only);
which would find NO filename, only dirname path, in that example
for cross reference:

Use this function in place of pathinfo to make it work with UTF-8 encoded file names too
<?php
function mb_pathinfo($filepath) {
preg_match('%^(.*?)[\\\\/]*(([^/\\\\]*?)(\.([^\.\\\\/]+?)|))[\\\\/\.]*$%im',$filepath,$m);
if($m[1]) $ret['dirname']=$m[1];
if($m[2]) $ret['basename']=$m[2];
if($m[5]) $ret['extension']=$m[5];
if($m[3]) $ret['filename']=$m[3];
return $ret;
}

Note that this function seems to just perform string operations, and will work even on a non-existent path, e.g.
<?php
print_r(pathinfo('/no/where/file.txt'));
?>
which will output:
Array
(
[dirname] => /no/where
[basename] => file.txt
[extension] => txt
[filename] => file
)

If a file has more than one 'file extension' (seperated by periods), the last one will be returned.
For example:
<?php
$pathinfo = pathinfo('/dir/test.tar.gz');
echo 'Extension: '.$pathinfo['extension'];
?>
will produce:
Extension: gz
and not tar.gz

Checked with version 5.5.12:
It works fine with filenames with utf-8 characters, pathinfo will strip them away:
<?php
print_r(pathinfo("/mnt/files/飛兒樂團光茫.mp3"));
?>
.. will display:
Array
(
[dirname] => /mnt/files
[basename] => 飛兒樂團光茫.mp3
[extension] => mp3
[filename] => 飛兒樂團光茫
)

Here is a simple function that gets the extension of a file. Simply using PATHINFO_EXTENSION will yield incorrect results if the path contains a query string with dots in the parameter names (for eg. &x.1=2&y.1=5), so this function eliminates the query string first and subsequently runs PATHINFO_EXTENSION on the clean path/url.
<?php
function extension($path) {
$qpos = strpos($path, "?");
if ($qpos!==false) $path = substr($path, 0, $qpos);
$extension = pathinfo($path, PATHINFO_EXTENSION);
return $extension;
}
?>

if you call pathinfo with a filename in url-style (example.php?with=parameter), make sure you remove the given parameters before, otherwise they will be returned as part of the extension.
extension => php?with=parameter

Note that in PHP 4 (if you're stuck using it), pathinfo only provides dirname, basename, and extension, but not filename. This function will not split a file's stem and extension for you.

If you have filename with utf-8 characters, pathinfo will strip them away:
print_r(pathinfo("/mnt/files/飛兒樂團光茫.mp3"));
.. will display:
Array
(
[dirname] => /mnt/files
[basename] => .mp3
[extension] => mp3
[filename] =>
)

If you want only the file extension, use this:
<?php
$extension = substr(strrchr($filename, "."), 1);
?>
This is many times faster than using pathinfo() and getting the value from array.
Lostindream at atlas dot cz ¶

at example from "qutechie at gmail dot com" you can only replace function 'strpos' with 'strrpos'. (strrpos — Find position of last occurrence of a char in a string)
It's simple. For example:
<?php
function filePath($filePath)
{
$fileParts = pathinfo($filePath);
if(!isset($fileParts['filename']))
{$fileParts['filename'] = substr($fileParts['basename'], 0, strrpos($fileParts['basename'], '.'));}
return $fileParts;
}
$filePath = filePath('/www/htdocs/index.html');
print_r($filePath);
?>
Output will be:
Array
(
[dirname] => /www/htdocs
[basename] => index.html
[extension] => html
[filename] => index
)

any type of url parse_url can handle this will get the extension of
pathinfo(parse_url('URL GOES HERE',PHP_URL_PATH),PATHINFO_EXTENSION)

pathinfo will return null if 0 or null is specified for the option argument.
So you'll need to define it's value manually if the option field is omitted, to provide the default functionality.
<?php
public function getFileInfo($source = null, $option = null){
if(!$option){
//1 + 2 + 4
$option = PATHINFO_DIRNAME + PATHINFO_BASENAME + PATHINFO_EXTENSION;
if(defined('PATHINFO_FILENAME'))
$option += PATHINFO_FILENAME; //8
}
return pathinfo($source, $option);
}
$obj->getFileInfo("/test/file/someFile.txt");
?>

A little compat for < 5.2

if (defined('PATHINFO_FILENAME')) return pathinfo($file,PATHINFO_FILENAME);
if (strstr($file, '.')) return substr($file,0,strrpos($file,'.'));
}

Here's a neat wee function to grab the relative path to root (especially useful if you're using mock-directories to pass variables into scripts with mod_rewrite). The function simply iterates through every occurence of "/" within the REQUEST_URI environment variable, appending "../" to the output for every instance:
<?php
function path_to_root($path) {
$pathinfo = pathinfo($path);
$deep = substr_count($pathinfo[dirname], "/");
$path_to_root = "./";
for($i = 1; $i <= $deep; $i++) {
$path_to_root .= "../";
}
return $path_to_root;
}
path_to_root($REQUEST_URI);
?>

It's worth nothing that pathinfo returns foo/index.php for the directory when dealing with URLs like foo/index.php/bar

When you need to get the file extension to upload a file with a <form> POST method, try this way:
// $_FILES['archivo'] receives the <input> file (named 'archivo'), ['name'] gets the file name.
$nombre = $_FILES['archivo']['name'];
//['tmp_name] gets the temporal name of the file (not the real name), which will be used later
$nombre_temporal = $_FILES['archivo']['tmp_name'];
//Here is the magic of pathinfo to get the file extension
$extension = pathinfo($nombre, PATHINFO_EXTENSION);
$nombre_final = $nombre. ".". $extension;
// $ruta is where you want to save the file
$ruta = "subidos/".$nombre_final;
move_uploaded_file($nombre_temporal, $ruta);

Sometimes, it's interessant to get the basename without extension.
So, I appended a new entry 'basenameWE' (Basename Without Extension) to the returned array.
<?php
// pathinfo improved
function pathinfo_im($path) {
$tab = pathinfo($path);
$tab["basenameWE"] = substr($tab["basename"],0
,strlen($tab["basename"]) - (strlen($tab["extension"]) + 1) );
return $tab;
}
$my_path = "/var/www/html/example.html";
echo "<pre>\n";
print_r( pathinfo_im($my_path) );
echo "</pre>\n";
?>
Out :
Array
(
[dirname] => /var/www/html
[basename] => example.html
[extension] => html
[basenameWE] => example
)

Note: dirname will be "." (meaning current directory) if the path is just a file name. (PHP 5.4.34)
<?php
var_dump( pathinfo('file.ext', PATHINFO_DIRNAME) ); // string(1) "."
?>

A warning: this function varies depending on the platform it is being run on. For example, pathinfo('C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 9.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe') will return a different result when run through a winOS PHP platform (local development) vs. a server's UNIX-based OS. A bit like the Locale settings, but unexpected.

extract(pathinfo("storage/example.pdf"));
echo $dirname; // "storage/"
echo $basename; // "example.pdf"
echo $extension; // "pdf"
echo $filename; // "example"

Note that pathinfo($somePath, PATHINFO_EXTENSION) will return '' (empty string) for both of these paths:
- some_random_file
- another_strange_file_ending_in_dot.
That's good, but then note that pathinfo($somePath, PATHINFO_FILENAME) won't end in the dot for 'another_strange_file_ending_in_dot.' - you'll need pathinfo($somePath, PATHINFO_BASENAME) to get the original filename ending in a dot.
Hope this helps!

This function is not perfect, but you can use it to convert a relative path to a URL.
Please email me if you can make any improvements.
<?php
function mapURL($relPath) {
$filePathName = realpath($relPath);
$filePath = realpath(dirname($relPath));
$basePath = realpath($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']);
// can not create URL for directory lower than DOCUMENT_ROOT
if (strlen($basePath) > strlen($filePath)) {
return '';
}
return 'http://' . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] . substr($filePathName, strlen($basePath));
}

pathinfo() which can be used with UTF filenames.
<?php
function pathinfo_utf($path)
{
if (strpos($path, '/') !== false) $basename = end(explode('/', $path));
elseif (strpos($path, '\\') !== false) $basename = end(explode('\\', $path));
else return false;
if (empty($basename)) return false;
$dirname = substr($path, 0, strlen($path) - strlen($basename) - 1);
if (strpos($basename, '.') !== false)
{
$extension = end(explode('.', $path));
$filename = substr($basename, 0, strlen($basename) - strlen($extension) - 1);
}
else
{
$extension = '';
$filename = $basename;
}
return array
(
'dirname' => $dirname,
'basename' => $basename,
'extension' => $extension,
'filename' => $filename
);
}
?>

Further to my previous post.
This affects servers that run PHP as a cgi module
If you have your own server:
You can use the AcceptPathInfo directive to force the core handler to accept requests with PATH_INFO and thereby restore the ability to use PATH_INFO in server-side includes.
Further information:

about the path, there are one thing you should note :
On Windows, both slash (/) and backslash (\) are used as directory separator character. In other environments, it is the forward slash (/). (this explain is from basename() function part https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.basename.php)
example:
<?php
$path = "http://www.test.com/a\b\c\filename.pdf";
echo pathinfo($pdfUrl, PATHINFO_BASENAME); //get basename
//output
//on window: result is filename.pdf
//on Linux: result is a\b\c\filename.pdf (that is may not your expect)
//so in order to get same result in different system. i will do below first.
$path = str_replace($path, '\\', '/'); //convert '\' to '/'

For a good example of how platform independent this function is have a look at the different return values that Lostindream and I experienced. Mine is above and Lostindream's is below:
Array
(
[dirname] => /www/psychicblast/images/1
[basename] => my three girlfriends.jpg
[extension] => jpg
)
Array
(
[dirname] => /www/htdocs
[basename] => index.html
[extension] => html
[filename] => index

PHP equivalent for custom implementations. Will be nearly as fast or faster (with long paths):
<?php
$trimPath = rtrim($path, '/');
$slashPos = strrpos($trimPath, '/');
if ($slashPos !== false) {
$dirName = substr($trimPath, 0, $slashPos) ?: '/';
$baseName = substr($trimPath, $slashPos + 1);
} else {
$dirName = '.';
$baseName = $trimPath;
}
$dotPos = strrpos($baseName, '.');
if ($dotPos !== false) {
$fileName = substr($baseName, 0, $dotPos);
$extension = substr($baseName, $dotPos + 1);
} else {
$extension = '';
$fileName = $baseName;
}

qutechie at gmail dot com wrote a fix for support for filename in PHP 4; however it gets it wrong whenever you have a filename with a . in it (so foo.bar.jpg would return foo instead of foo.bar).
A fix would be:
<?php
if(!isset($path_parts['filename'])){
$reversed_filename = strrev( $path_parts['basename'] );
$path_parts['filename'] = strrev( substr( $reversed_filename, strpos( $reversed_filename, '.' ) + 1 ) );
}
?>
The idea is that you reverse the string and create a substring that starts after the first '.' and then reverse the result.

Lightweight way to get extension for *nix systems
<?php
function get_extension($path)
{
$c = preg_match('#[^\/]+\.([^\.]*)$#uis', $path, $tmp);
return $c ? $tmp[1] : null;
}
?>
this will return NULL for dotfiles (hidden files)
Testing:
<?php
$test = array(
'/normal_dir/normal.foo',
'/double_ext.foo.bar',
'/.hidden/empty_ext.',
'/.hidden_dir/.hidden_file',
'/foo.bar/no_ext'
);
foreach($test as $path) {
var_dump(parse_extension($path));
}
?>
results:
string(3) "foo"
string(3) "bar"
string(0) ""
NULL
NULL
if you want to get all extensions (substring of file name after first dot) use another expression:
<?php
$c = preg_match('#[^\.|\/]+\.([^\/]*)$#uis', $path, $tmp);
?>

Here is an enhanced version of pathinfo() that interprets multi-part extensions like tar.gz as one file extension:
<?php
function pathinfo_enhanced($file_path) {
$core_path_info = pathinfo($file_path);
$filename = $core_path_info['filename'];
if (isset($core_path_info['extension'])) {
$extension = $core_path_info['extension'];
} else {
$extension = '';
}
$extension_parts = array();
while (!empty($extension)) {
array_unshift($extension_parts, $extension);
$remaining_path_info = pathinfo($filename);
$filename = $remaining_path_info['filename'];
if (isset($remaining_path_info['extension'])) {
$extension = $remaining_path_info['extension'];
} else {
$extension = '';
}
}
$revised_path_info = array(
'filename' => $filename,
'extension' => implode('.', $extension_parts),
);
return array_merge($core_path_info, $revised_path_info);
}
// === EXAMPLES ===
// Directory; two extensions
$path = '/www/htdocs/inc/file.tar.gz';
$info = pathinfo_enhanced($path);
echo "$path\n";
print_r($info);
echo "\n";
// Directory; one extension
$path = '/www/htdocs/inc/file.tgz';
$info = pathinfo_enhanced($path);
echo "$path\n";
print_r($info);
echo "\n";
// Directory; no extension
$path = '/www/htdocs/inc/lib';
$info = pathinfo_enhanced($path);
