Try this    parts   explode       file name    file extension   end  parts     The reason is that the argument for end is passed by reference  since end modifies the array by advancing its internal pointer to the final element  If you re not passing a variable in  there s nothing for a reference to point to   See end in the PHP manual for more info

PHP complains because end   expects a reference to something that it wants to change  which can be a variable only   You however pass the result of explode   directly to end   without saving it to a variable first  At the moment when explode   returns your value  it exists only in memory and no variable points to it  You cannot create a reference to something  or to something unknown in the memory   that does not exists   Or in other words  PHP does not know  if the value you give him is the direct value or just a pointer to the value  a pointer is also a variable  integer   which stores the offset of the memory  where the actual value resides   So PHP expects here a pointer  reference  always   But since this is still just a notice  not even deprecated  in PHP 7  you can savely ignore notices and use the ignore-operator instead of completely deactivating error reporting for notices    file extension    end explode       file name

Assign the result of explode to a variable and pass that variable to end    tmp   explode       file name    file extension   end  tmp     The problem is  that end requires a reference  because it modifies the internal representation of the array  i e  it makes the current element pointer point to the last element    The result of explode       file name  cannot be turned into a reference  This is a restriction in the PHP language  that probably exists for simplicity reasons
