Get the Extension of the Image from URL
Hi E's, I need to get the extension of the image from a URL address (gif, png, jpg etc).
In practice if I have this address: http://example.com/image/image.gif I want the output $extension = gif.
How I get the image extension from the URL?

$ext = preg_match('/(?<=\.)[a-z]+
Correction:
$ext = preg_match('/(?<=\.)[a-z]+
$ext = preg_match('/(?<=\.)[a-z]+

What about:
$x = explode(".",$path);
$ext = array_pop($x);
$x = explode(".",$path);
$ext = array_pop($x);

Right
substr($path, (strlen($path)-3), strlen($path));
It´s flawless for most common extensions, jpeg ext is very rare in web apps

It won't cover Google's new WEBP extension either ;)

Tthe proposed code by kumaranmca will only work if your file name has only one "." in it. you need to grab the end of the array to be sure you get the extension. A filename like:
Jim.Smith.jpg
would not give the desired results by taking $file_extension[1].
Jim.Smith.jpg
would not give the desired results by taking $file_extension[1].

My pattern was correct; my use of preg_match was not. Forgive me, I'm not a php programmer :\
