PHP: filename without file extension- best way?

Question

I am trying to pull the filename out of a directory without the extension.

I am kludging my way through with the following:

foreach ($allowed_files a

PHP has a handy pathinfo() function that does the legwork for you here:

foreach ($allowed_files as $filename) {
  echo pathinfo($filename, PATHINFO_FILENAME);
}

Example:

$files = array(
  'somefile.txt',
  'anotherfile.pdf',
  '/with/path/hello.properties',
);

foreach ($files as $file) {
  $name = pathinfo($file, PATHINFO_FILENAME);
  echo "$file => $name\n";
}

Output:

somefile.txt => somefile
anotherfile.pdf => anotherfile
/with/path/hello.properties => hello
