Jim,

  you could look at the basename() function which should separate the path
from the filename.  although if i'm not mistaken, you can't specify the
DIRSEP character, so i think it'll only work for *NIX style pathnames.

you could also anchor your regex to the right by putting a $ in it after the
test for the extention to ensure that it's only checking for the last
occurance of the extension in the string.

hope this helps
