Because Windoze and Linux (at least) use different characters to separate elements of a file path, I think a function that parses a path into an array of subdirectories, basename and extension would be useful. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=10916&edit=1
