filename parsing....stuck!

[cbmeeks]

I'm a newbie to PHP.

What I am trying to do is take a filename from a URL
(http://example.com/?i=image-t.jpg) and dynamically re-size it based on
the "-t"

For example, I have an original image that is called "image.jpg"

If someone changes the URL to point to: "image-t.jpg" I want to parse
the "-t", resize it to a thumbnail and display that.

I have the resizing down so no problem there. I just can't wrap my
head around regular expressions.

Thanks!

Take a look at substr and strpos. That should do it. If you dont know
them, then look at www.php.net

Arg!

In this code:

$fn = 'demo-640x480.jpg';

$pattern = '/\d+/';

$matches = preg_split($pattern, $fn, -1, PREG_SPLIT_NO_EMPTY);

print_r($matches);
give me:

Array ( [0] =demo- [1] =x [2] =.jpg )

why do I not get 640 480??
