结束（爆炸）严格标准：只有变量应该通过引用传递

Question

I have this code to get the extension of a file:

$extension = end(explode(".", $_FILES["rfile"]["name"]));

That is working fine on localhost, but when I upload online hosting, it is giving me this error:

Strict Standards: Only variables should be passed by reference in...

Answer 1

Why not use pathinfo (PHP >= 4.0.3), i.e.:

$ext = pathinfo($_FILES["rfile"]["name"])['extension'];
