Well I thought about that when I posted. If all you're concerned about
is the filename then my first example works great, for the second to get
the full extension you would set a limit to only return the first part
before the . and then all the rest (assuming that the rest is the
extension):
list($filename, $extension) = explode('.', 'archive.tar.gz', 2);
Of course this doesn't work for something like 'My.Word.Document.docx'
or 'archive_v2.0.1.tar.gz', but I don't know what will with extensions
being variable length and possibly composed of multiple periods.
