PHP Extract only the Filename from UNC Path - php

Question

I'm trying to create an Intranet page that looks up all pdf documents in a UNC path and the returns them in a list as hyperlinks that opens in a new window. I'm nearly there however the following code displays the FULL UNC path - My question how can I display only the Filename (preferably without the .pdf extension too). I've experimented with the basename function but can't seem to get the right result.
//path to Network Share
$uncpath = "//myserver/adirectory/personnel/";
//get all files with a .pdf extension.
$files = glob($uncpath . "*.pdf");
//print each file name
foreach ($files as $file)
{
echo "<a target=_blank href='File:///$file'>$file</a><br>";
}
The links work fine it just the display text shows //myserver/adirectory/personnel/document.pdf rather than just document. Note the above code was taken from another example I found whilst researching. If there's a whole new better way then I'm open to suggestions.

Answer 1

echo basename($file);

Modify your code like this:
<?
$uncpath = "//myserver/adirectory/personnel/";
//get all files with a .pdf extension.
$files = glob($uncpath . "*.pdf");
//print each file name
foreach ($files as $file)
{
echo "<a target=_blank href='File:///$file'>".basename($file)."</a><br>";
}
?>

You may try this, if basename() does not work for some reason:
$file_a = explode('/',$file);
if (trim(end($file_a)) == '')
$filename = $file_a[count($file_a)-2];
else
$filename = end($file_a);
