using substr in an array problem..

[sd0t1]

I have a form that uploads 3 .jpg's to a folder and lists the names of the .jpg's in a database table. It works fine unless I try to strip off the ".jpg" from the end of the image name.
This is what it does. example. if image name is "imgname.jpg" and the database fields are image1,image2,image3.

image1 image2 image3
. j p

should be:

image1 image2 image3
imgname imgname imgname

instead of giving me the name of each image with out the ".jpg"
Any help is appreciated.
thanks in advance..

here is my code

if ((isset($_POST["MM_insert"])) && ($_POST["MM_insert"] == "form1") && ($_POST['photo_desc'] !="")) {
$file_dir = "images/";
for($i=0; $i<3;$i++){
//test if upload was complete
if(isset($_FILES['upfile']['error'][$i]) && $_FILES['upfile']['error'][$i]==0 && $_FILES['upfile']['name'][$i]!= ""){
$newfile[$i] = $file_dir.$_FILES['upfile']['name'][$i];
move_uploaded_file($_FILES['upfile']['tmp_name'][$i], $newfile[$i]);
$name = substr($_FILES['upfile']['name'][$i],-4);
$j++;
if (isset($j)&&$j>0) $message = "Your file(s) has been uploaded.<br><br>Choose 3 files to upload...<br>";
}else{
$newfile[$i] = 'File not uploaded';
}
}
$insertSQL = sprintf("
INSERT
INTO
photo_table
(
photo_id,
photo_client_id,
photo_category,
photo_name,
photo_keyword,
photo_desc,
photo_thumb_name,
photo_4x6_name,
photo_6x9_name
)
VALUES (%s, %s, %s, %s, %s, %s, %s, %s, %s)",
GetSQLValueString($_POST['photo_id'], "int"),
GetSQLValueString($_POST['photo_client_id'], "int"),
GetSQLValueString($_POST['photo_category'], "int"),
GetSQLValueString($_POST['photo_name'], "text"),
GetSQLValueString($_POST['photo_keyword'], "text"),
GetSQLValueString($_POST['photo_desc'], "text"),
GetSQLValueString($name[0], "text"),
GetSQLValueString($name[1], "text"),
GetSQLValueString($name[2], "text")
);
mysql_select_db($database_database, $database);
mysql_query($insertSQL, $database) or die(mysql_error());

I'm sorry, but I don't see any code there that would manipulate filenames.

It's in the part where I upload the image, then it takes the name strips off the last 4 and inserts it into the database. This is the piece of code i'm referring to.

$name = substr($_FILES['upfile']['name'][$i],-4);

I want to take the array called $name and take off the .jpg. I thought by adding the substr($name, -4) it would take off the last 4 characters (.jpg).

Sorry, I missed it.

You're trying to strip off the last for characters invoking substr() using a negative start value? Read the PHP online manual entry for substr{}, paying particular attention to the example code.

have a look also at basename()
and pathinfo()
and of course you could also use explode()
