echo filename without file extension

[toille]

my focus is toward the top of the code. im trying to list all of my files in a folder (.txt files), but without the ".txt", and echo them out as links. Can anyone help me revise my code? you can see it in action at http://americanliterature.hebronix.com/episodes.php. the different episodes are linked by ID in the url. and the text files contain the info. i realized i would rather use mysql, but i am really tired and have been working on this for a while. sorry if this doesnt make sense, i am really really tired.

//define the path as relative

//using the opendir function
$dir_handle = @opendir($path) or die("Unable to open $path");

// strip txt from name an assign it as the key value
$find = ".txt";
$pos = strpos($file, $find);
$keyval = substr($file, 0, $pos);

echo "<span class='small'>Episodes:</span> ";

//running the while loop
while ($file = readdir($dir_handle))

Try something like:

$comma=false;
while ($file = readdir($dir_handle)) {
$file = str_replace(".txt", "", $file);
if($file!="." && $file!=".."){
echo "<a href='episodes.php?id=$file' class='small'>$file</a>";
if($comma){echo ",";}else{$comma=true;}
}
}
Happy Holidays :)
