What, you don't like my method? 🙂

Why are there so many slashes and symbols....? 😕

I like PHP because it resembles C++ and Java. It's easier for me to read and follow.

oh you've got to love regexes like this: $filename =~ s/^.*[\/\\]([^\/\\]+)$/$1/;
and hash references are fun, too: $$exts{$ext}

🙂

Can't you use #'s or commas instead of /'s, and not have to escape the /'s?

$filename =~ s/^.*[\/\\]([^\/\\]+)$/$1/;
$filename =~ s,^.*[/\\]([^/\\]+)$,$1,;

I could, but I dont. No particular reason, I'm just accustomed to doing it that way.

Ah, it was actually a question of literally whether you could 😛 (I knew that from sed but wasn't sure if perl used it too).

write something custom 🙂

or better yet come up with something cool like storing data in a database

i've got code that allows you to store anything (within the limits of HTTP) into a mysql BLOB field. kinda cool storing binaries in a db if you ask me 🙂 not really good for a large-scale project, but nifty for only a few users. i have it if you're interested, pm me

Is there any benefit to storing things in a database, other than the "cool" factor? 🙂
