Work the statement from right to left.

Server variables: $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']
The filename of the currently executing script, relative to the document
root. For instance, $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] in a script at the address
http://example.com/test.php/foo.bar would be /test.php/foo.bar.

explode('/',$_SERVER['PHP_SELF'])
explode Split a string by string returns an array of strings
returns array('temp','mydri','index.php')

array_pop(explode('/',$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']))
array_pop() pops and returns the last value of the array...
returns 'index.php'

explode('.',array_pop(explode('/',$_SERVER['PHP_SELF'])))
explode Split a string by string returns an array of strings
returns array('index','php')

array_shift(explode('.',array_pop(explode('/',$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']))))
array_shift() shifts the first value of the array off and returns it...
returns 'index'

Our earth is degenerate in these latter days; bribery and corruption
are common; children no longer obey their parents; and the end of the
world is evidently approaching.
