Is there a way to display the URL without the file extension in php

Question

$link = $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];
$link_array = explode('/u/', $link);
echo $_COOKIE[] = end($link_array);

Does anyone know how I could shave off 4 characters at the end or a totally different method thanks.

Answer 1

Use the basename function

$basename = basename($link, '.php');
