Remove file extension on file upload

Question

I'm writing the code for a website right now that's uploads images and then displays them gallery style. What I would like to happen is for the file name of the image to be entered into the site's database as the name of the image. However, just using $_FILES['images']['name']; gives me the file name but with the file extension attached at the end. How would I remove the file extension so I can use the file name by itself?

You can use the pathinfo() function (docs).

$example  = "my_file.jpeg";
$filename = pathinfo($example, PATHINFO_FILENAME);
echo $filename; // my_file
