how to get the full filename?

[seahorse123]

I have file uploaded to the server by using move_uploaded_file(), the uploaded files have the different file type(extension name like jpg, gif, pdf...)
Now I want to retrieve these files and have it linked from the webpage, I already have the file name, the problem is how the script knows the file extension in order to link it correctly, for example <a href="abc.jpg">, I already have file name "abc", but how the script detects ".jpg", as the hyperlink <a href="abc"> will not work.

At what point are you losing the extension? You should figure that out as maintaining the file extensions should be no hard task.

This is too basic to give a reply..
not to be rude, but I think he should read for himself and learn, rather than just getting such simple answers on a spoon.

Not so much an answer as a question to get him thinking. I gave him no example code, nothing but a question to try and point him in the direction he should be looking.
