Name of current file PHP

Question

How do you get JUST the current files name that is being used? I need the name only (myFile.php NEEDS TO BE myFile)

$_SERVER and __FILE__ constants are NOT the answers I am looking for.

http://php.net/manual/en/function.pathinfo.php If you cannot find something that exactly matches your requirements - combine functions. There is obviously no function `run_facebook();`. So in your case - use `__FILE__` and mentioned function. — zerkms, Jan 27 '14 at 20:59

basename(__FILE__, '.php');

See also here: http://php.net/basename, or, if you like

pathinfo(__FILE__, PATHINFO_FILENAME);

This last one works also if the extension is different from .php without the need to specify it, see http://php.net/manual/en/function.pathinfo.php

What if a current extension is not `.php`? – zerkms Jan 27 '14 at 21:01

In that case it wouldn't work, but OP mentioned `.php` explicitely, second example works in any case. – Matteo Tassinari Jan 27 '14 at 21:02
"but OP mentioned .php explicitely" --- then `substr(__FILE__, 0, -4)` would be even cheaper :) – zerkms Jan 27 '14 at 21:04
Yep, I would say that is right, but should be `substr(__FILE__, 0, -4)` or you'd leave the final dot. – Matteo Tassinari Jan 27 '14 at 21:05
Yep, it's hard to count to 4 in the morning ) – zerkms Jan 27 '14 at 21:05

Try strstr :

<?php
$file  = 'myFile.php';
$name = strstr($file, '.');
echo $name; // prints .php

$file  = 'myFile.php';
$name = strstr($file, '.' ,true);
echo $name; // prints myFile
?>

You can find more examples on how to use this at http://us1.php.net/manual/en/function.strstr.php

This should work for you.
