Hello,

Does anyone know how to turn a file name into a variable?

i.e.

File name = test.php
V
$title = "test";

?

Thanks.

Let us say the current file name this script-bit is in is actually your test.php.

<?
$this = $PHP_SELF;
$showthis = basename($this);
$stripthis = basename($this, ".php");
echo $showthis."<br>".$stripthis;
?>

produces:

test.php
test

refer to: http://us2.php.net/manual/en/function.basename.php for more tools on using basename() with variables, ect.

<?
$mystring="file.php";
$filename=explode(".",$mystring);
echo $filename[0];

?>
