Return a file extention from a string

This php function returns a file extention from a string. 

I think it will only work if the string does not have any additional . in it. 

I think a better way to do this function would be to split the string into an array on the . and then select the last dot content. 

Actually after testing this it does already locate the last . location. Test Link with multiple .'s

PHP

// return a file extention
	function get_file_extension($file_name) {
		return substr(strrchr($file_name,'.'),1);
	}

echo get_file_extension($file_name = "1.2.3456.678-asz.txt");

The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existence. One cannot help but be in awe when he contemplates the mysteries of eternity, of life, of the marvelous structure of reality. It is enough if one tries merely to comprehend a little of this mystery each day. Never lose a holy curiosity.
