Use this function in place of pathinfo to make it work with UTF-8 encoded file names too

<?php
function mb_pathinfo($filepath) {
preg_match('%^(.*?)[\\\\/]*(([^/\\\\]*?)(\.([^\.\\\\/]+?)|))[\\\\/\.]*$%im',$filepath,$m);
if(
$m[1]) $ret['dirname']=$m[1];
if(
$m[2]) $ret['basename']=$m[2];
if(
$m[5]) $ret['extension']=$m[5];
if(
$m[3]) $ret['filename']=$m[3];
return
$ret;
}
?>

about the path, there are one thing you should note :
On Windows, both slash (/) and backslash (\) are used as directory separator character. In other environments, it is the forward slash (/). (this explain is from basename() function part https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.basename.php)
example:
<?php
$path
= "https://urvidutta.com /a\b\c\filename.pdf";

echo
pathinfo($pdfUrl, PATHINFO_BASENAME); //get basename
//output
//on window: result is filename.pdf
//on Linux: result is a\b\c\filename.pdf (that is may not your expect)

//so in order to get same result in different system. i will do below first.
$path = str_replace($path, '\\', '/'); //convert '\' to '/'

If a file has more than one 'file extension' (seperated by periods), the last one will be returned.
For example:
<?php
$pathinfo
= pathinfo('/dir/test.tar.gz');
echo
'Extension: '.$pathinfo['extension'];
?>
will produce:
Extension: gz

and not tar.gz
