Strip extension

[thesatman]

Hi, I want to strip the extension from a filename like- filename.gif i want it to only show- filename

This is the code i have at the moment to get the filename-

PHP Code:

<?php 

// ### TOP STATS ######################################## 
 
$top_stats = array(); 
// TOP POSTERS 
$top_posters = $db->query_read("SELECT * FROM ".TABLE_PREFIX."attachment ORDER BY counter DESC LIMIT 10"); 
while($top_poster = $db->fetch_array($top_posters)) 
{ 
eval('$top_stats[\'top_posters\'] .= "' . fetch_template('top_posters') . '";');    
} 
unset($top_poster); 
$db->free_result($top_posters);
eval('$home[$mods[\'modid\']][\'content\'] = "' . fetch_template('adv_portal_topposters') . '";');

and this is the code i have in the style-

PHP Code:

<tr>
<td class="thead"><span class="smallfont"><a href="http://www.mobileexpert.co.uk/mobile/forum/showthread.php?p=$top_poster[postid]">[$top_poster[filename]]</a></span>

<class="$bgclass"><span class="smallfont"><strong><a> </a>[$top_poster[counter]]</strong></span></td>
</tr> 


at the moment it shows the 10 most downloaded files but including the file extension, Anyone know how i can strip the file extension please ?

Cheers
Chris.

You can do...

PHP Code:

$name = substr($filename, 0, strrpos($filename, '.'));

Thanks but how would i include that in the above code as i'm using-

$top_poster[filename]

in my style to display the 10 most downloaded files

PHP Code:

$name = substr($top_poster[filename], 0, strrpos($top_poster[filename], '.'));
