Req #60996 [NEW]: Slash agnostic basename()

From: Operating system: Any PHP version: 5.3.10 Package: *General Issues Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug description:Slash agnostic basename() Description: ------------ On Windows, basename() works with \ or /. On Unix platforms it only works with /. Since / is technically wrong on Windows, it should let you be technically wrong on Unix using \. Why? I noticed this while working on a custom autoloader. I was trying to basename('namespace\class') and was getting back 'namespace\class' on Unix but only getting 'class' on Windows, and 'class' was the expected output. Since namespaces use a pseudo-filesystem structure I believe basename() (and probably dirname()) should be allowed to work properly on them regardless of the OS. "But you are't dealing with files so this is dumb" - when it comes to autoloading, namespaces and classes are dealing with files... so. Test script: --------------- <?php // on unix vs on windows spl_autoload_register(function($name){ var_dump(basename($name)); die(); }); new bob\ftw; ?> Expected result: ---------------- 'ftw' Actual result: -------------- 'bob\ftw' on unix. -- Edit bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=60996&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.4): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60996&r=trysnapshot54 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60996&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (trunk): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60996&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60996&r=fixed Fixed in SVN and need be documented: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60996&r=needdocs Fixed in release: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60996&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60996&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60996&r=needscript Try newer version: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60996&r=oldversion Not developer issue: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60996&r=support Expected behavior: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60996&r=notwrong Not enough info: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60996&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60996&r=submittedtwice register_globals: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60996&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60996&r=php4 Daylight Savings: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60996&r=dst IIS Stability: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60996&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60996&r=gnused Floating point limitations: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60996&r=float No Zend Extensions: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60996&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60996&r=mysqlcfg
