I have a string of text that is the name of a file, and I want to show it only if the name of the file does not contain an image extension.
This are the string structures:
this-file-1.jpg
other_file.pdf
and-yet_another--file.zip
and-another-one.png
I've tried:
if ( strpos($value, 'jpg') === FALSE) {
echo $mostrarArchivos;
}
And it does work, but when I try this it doesn't:
if ( strpos($value, 'jpg') === FALSE ||
strpos($value, 'jpeg') === FALSE ||
strpos($value, 'png') === FALSE ||
strpos($value, 'gif') === FALSE
) {
echo $mostrarArchivos;
}
In the sense that it does show the string with the filename, even if the string says whatever.jpg
I do realizse that this should be done differently, so any suggestion is more than welcome.
This seems like a much simpler and more flexible solution, as you can add or remove extension easily to the $invalid
array any time you like. This will also make sure you are testing the actual extension as well rather than a character sequence in the filename part that happens to match the extensions you want to ignore.
$invalid = ['jpg','gif','png'];
$filename = 'hello_world.png';
if ( ! in_array(pathinfo($filename, PATHINFO_EXTENSION), $invalid) ) {
echo 'VALID EXTN ' . $filename . PHP_EOL;
} else {
echo 'INVALID EXTN ' . $filename . PHP_EOL;
}
