php Laravel- retrieve property of object

Question

I have something like that :

In my controller , I wrote this line :

dd($file->path);

and here is result :

UploadedFile {#294
  -test: false
  -originalName: "photo.png"
  -mimeType: "image/png"
  -size: 319216
  -error: 0
  path: "/tmp"
  basename: "phpLJA6Ge"
  pathname: "/tmp/phpLJA6Ge"
}

I want to return .png . How to retrieve originalName?

To get the name of the file with extension included: $file->getClientOriginalName()

To get the content: file_get_contents($file->getRealPath());

Thank you for your comment . If file name is something like this.is.file.png , how to retrieve "png"? I use explode('.',$file->getClientOriginalName()) but it return "this"

Sorry for the late response. If you explode on the ., it will return an array of multiple strings (because you have multiple dots in the file name). To get an extension, you always have to get the last in the array: end(explode('.',$file->getClientOriginalName())).
