Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=66914&edit=1 ID: 66914 Comment by: shm@php.net Reported by: mborchert71 at gmail dot com Summary: basename("/path/directory/") returns directory Status: Open Type: Feature/Change Request Package: *Directory/Filesystem functions Operating System: Linux Debian/Ubuntu/Mint PHP Version: 5.4.26 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: Accroding to glibc's man basename(3): [...] The functions dirname() and basename() break a null-terminated pathname string into directory and filename components. In the usual case, dirname() returns the string up to, but not including, the final '/', and basename() returns the component following the final '/'. Trailing '/' characters are not counted as part of the pathname. [...] Our implementation behaves the same.
