and MID . I read the filenames but I want to strip the extension from the
filename.

font-weight: bold; color: #000000">
<?php
$handle=opendir('news');
while (false!==($file = readdir($handle))) {
if ($file != "." && $file != "..") {
echo "\n<TR><TD>$file\n";
}
}
closedir($handle);
?>

</body>
</html>
=======RESULT ========
200503290000.txt
200503300000.txt
200503310000.txt

substr ( $name, 0, strlen ( $name ) - strlen ( '.txt' ) ); or
substr ( $name, 0, strrpos ( $name, '.' ) );

I'm probably the odd character out, but you get the idea...

I'm not sure what your "Subject" line or the first part of your
question has to do with the second part, but you should take a look at
the substr() function <http://www.php.net/substr> and the pathinfo()
function <http://www.php.net/pathinfo>.

Combining those should give you what you're looking for.
