This method returns the base name of the file, directory, or link without path info.

Caution

SplFileInfo::getBasename is locale aware, so for it to see the correct basename with multibyte character paths, the matching locale must be set using the setlocale function.

Examples

Example #1 SplFileInfo::getBasename example

<?php
$info = new SplFileInfo('file.txt');
var_dump($info->getBasename());

$info = new SplFileInfo('/path/to/file.txt');
var_dump($info->getBasename());

$info = new SplFileInfo('/path/to/file.txt');
var_dump($info->getBasename('.txt'));
?>

The above example will output something similar to:

string(8) "file.txt"
string(8) "file.txt"
string(4) "file"
