Get Filename Without Extension in PHP/Laravel

John on March 27, 2021

To get the full name of a file without its extension in PHP use the pathinfo() function. Pass the file name as the first argument and PATHINFO_FILENAME as the second.

$file_name = pathinfo($input_file, PATHINFO_FILENAME);

In Laravel you can get the name of an uploaded file using the getClientOriginalName() method. The full example of getting the full name of a file without the extension is:

$input_file = Input::file('image')->getClientOriginalName();

$file_name = pathinfo($input_file, PATHINFO_FILENAME);
