How do you get the right output? The output you have got is the right output. On my PHP i got: BEFORE:temp_file_path=/home/mnuc/x/1234.IMG.gz interfile_final_path=/home/mnuc/1234.IMG.gz AFTER: temp_file_path=/home/mnuc/x/1234 interfile_final_path=/home/mnuc/1234.IMG.gz How can this be possible? Does any one have any solution, tip? Thank's ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-06-27 11:51:41] rasmus@php.net Your example code prints out: BEFORE:temp_file_path=/home/mnuc/x/1234.IMG.gz interfile_final_path=/home/mnuc/1234.IMG.gz AFTER: temp_file_path=/home/mnuc/x/1234.IMG.gz interfile_final_path=/home/mnuc/1234.IMG.gz Looks right to me. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-06-27 07:55:34] miguel@ipatimup.pt I, here are the requested lines: $temp_file_path = "/home/mnuc/x/1234.IMG.gz"; $interfile_final_path = "/home/mnuc/1234.IMG.gz"; $full_file_path = $temp_file_path; printf("<P>BEFORE:temp_file_path=%s<BR>interfile_final_path=%s</P>", $temp_file_path,$interfile_final_path ); $ficheiro_nome = basename( $full_file_path, ".IMG.gz"); printf("<P>AFTER: temp_file_path=%s<BR>interfile_final_path=%s</P>", $temp_file_path,$interfile_final_path ); die(); Regards, Miguel ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-06-27 07:32:48] sander@php.net Can you provide a _simple_ and _selfcontained_ sample script, say about 5 lines long, so we can play with it a little? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
