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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2014-03-16 19:10:12] mborchert71 at gmail dot com Similar "unexpected" is, that dirname("") returns "." ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2014-03-16 19:01:48] mborchert71 at gmail dot com Description: ------------ basename should return empty string on trailing slash strings Test script: --------------- echo basename("/test/path/");//returns path ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=66914&edit=1
