How can the .xml extension be removed or excluded from a file name in PHP?

To remove or exclude the .xml extension from a file name in PHP, you can use the `pathinfo()` function to get the file name without the extension and then concatenate it with a different extension. This can be useful when you want to change the file extension or manipulate the file name without the .xml extension.

// Get the file name without the extension
$filename = pathinfo('example.xml', PATHINFO_FILENAME);

// Concatenate the file name with a different extension
$newFilename = $filename . '.txt';

echo $newFilename; // Output: example.txt
