How To Break a File Path Name into Parts?

If you have a file name, and want to get different parts of the file name, you can use the pathinfo() function. It breaks the file name into 3 parts: directory name, file base name and file extension; and returns them in an array. Here is a PHP script example on how to use pathinfo():<?php$pathName = "/temp/download/todo.txt";$parts = pathinfo($pathName);print_r($parts);print("\n");?>This script will print:Array(    [dirname] => /temp/download    [basename] => todo.txt    [extension] => txt)
