Hi,
Following are some of the useful functions in php.
basename:
You can use this function to get file name from a path. for ex:
$abs_path="/home/sekar/local/myfile.txt";
$file=basename($abs_path);
echo $file; //myfile.txt
list:
This function exports array items as variables, have a look at this example:
list($name,$age)=array("sekar",25);
echo $name; //sekar
echo $age; //25
strftime:
This function will convert timestamp in any format you'd like, for ex:
echo strftime("%B %d, %Y", time()); // July 22, 2012
