Extension

Zend\Validator\File\Extension checks the extension of files. It will assert true when a given file matches any of the defined extensions.

This validator is inversely related to the ExcludeExtension validator.

Supported Options

The following set of options are supported:

• extension: Array of extensions, or comma-delimited string of extensions, against which to test.
• case: Boolean indicating whether or not extensions should match case sensitively; defaults to false (case-insensitive).
• allowNonExistentFile: (Since 2.13.0) Boolean indicating whether or not to allow validating a filename for a non-existent file. Defaults to false (will not validate non-existent files).

Usage Examples

use Zend\Validator\File\Extension;

// Allow files with 'php' or 'exe' extensions
$validator = new Extension('php,exe');

// ...or with array notation
$validator = new Extension(['php', 'exe']);

// Test with case-sensitivity on
$validator = new Extension(['php', 'exe'], true);

// Using an options array:
$validator = new Extension([
    'extension' => ['php', 'exe'],
    'case' => true,
]);

// Perform validation
if ($validator->isValid('./myfile.php')) {
    // file is valid
}
