Display Image Name

PS: The closest I’ve got is this
<?php echo wp_get_attachment_url($post->ID); ?>

which displays the url of the image … but all I want is the file name, not the url.

Thanks.

Here are some examples of how to get image data on the attachment page:

echo 'image id = ' . $post->ID;
echo 'image title = ' . $post->post_title;
echo 'image caption = ' . $post->post_excerpt;
echo 'image description = ' . $post->post_content;
echo 'image alt = ' . get_post_meta($post->ID, '_wp_attachment_image_alt', true);

$imageArray = wp_get_attachment_image_src($post->ID, 'full', false);
echo 'image uri =' . $imageArray[0]; // 0 is the URI
echo 'image width =' . $imageArray[1]; // 1 is the width
echo 'image height =' . $imageArray[2]; // 2 is the height

Thank you for your help. I tried the first line, but it produced the wp ID of the image, not the file name.

<?php echo echo 'image id = ' . $post->ID; ?>

correct? That didn’t give me the .jpg name, but the id wp assigns on upload.

I have a feeling that this code
$imageArray = wp_get_attachment_image_src($post->ID, 'full', false);

does what I need, but I don’t know how to put that in the image.php file in such a way that it produces anything. I’m not a php person, I’m a copy and paster, sorry.

What I want to display, for ordering purposes, is the .jpg file name of the image.

Thanks

To get the filename you could try this:

$metadata = wp_get_attachment_metadata( $post->ID );
if(isset($metadata['file']) && $metadata['file']) {
  echo 'filename = ' . $metadata['file'];
}

Hey Keesiemeijer

Thanks .. closer! That produces the last 2 folders of the url path, plus the file name

Arrayfilename = 2013/01/07_AUG09711.jpg

where 2013/01/ are the year/month names of the directory/url. All I want to display is

07_Aug0971.jpg

which is the filename. Here’s how I inserted the code:

<?php echo $metadata = wp_get_attachment_metadata( $post->ID );
if(isset($metadata['file']) && $metadata['file']) {
  echo 'filename = ' . $metadata['file'];
}
?>

Is that correct?

Like I said, I’m a hacker.. I hack and stab and snip and cut at it til it bleeds red. ??
And how do I insert the code so it doesn’t say [i]”Arrayfilename = “[/i]?

Thanks so much for your help.

Cheers

Aha, I see. Hopefully this will work:

echo 'attachement file name = ' .  basename(get_attached_file( $post->ID ));

And how do I insert the code so it doesn’t say [i]”Arrayfilename = “[/i]?

Don’t use echo when setting the variable:

// wrong
echo $metadata = wp_get_attachment_metadata( $post->ID );

// right
$metadata = wp_get_attachment_metadata( $post->ID );

Ha ha .. Dude (assuming you’re a “dude”) ?? .. you’re a genius!

Thanks so much. I really appreciate your help and patience.

Cheers

You’re welcome. I’m glad you’ve got it resolved.
It seems it was not a simple question after all ??

Interensante contribution, just what I was looking for. But I can not hacrlo work.

<?php echo $metadata = wp_get_attachment_metadata( $post->ID ); ?>

I add the code below to my single.php but I see nothing in the post.

It may be due to my function.php?

I want to get filenames to show below the thumbs on gallery and on the lightbox. Im using builtin gallery of wordpress. Where do I put the code? Can i show just the name and not the extension of the file?
