A little more involved, but this will allow for extensions like tar.gz
or tar.bz2, etc. It gets the position in the file name, of the first
".", and keeps everything after.

$p = '/path/to/archive.tar.gz';
$file = basename($p);
$p2 = dirname($p) . '/newname' . substr($file,strpos($file,'.'));
echo $p2;
