nb stands for number... but false friend from French, sorry.
I fine with any other name, like "levels"

Nice idea, but what on earth does "$nb" mean? I know parameter names of internal functions
only really exist in documentation, and can be easily changed, but we might as well try to make it
obvious. How about "$levels", or "$climb_levels", or spell out whatever
"nb" stands for (I'm not being sarcastic, I'm genuinely not sure)?

The following patch has been added/updated:
Patch Name: 0001-Fix-70112-RFE-Allow-dirname-to-go-up-various-time.patch
Revision: 1437565586
URL: https://bugs.php.net/patch-display.php?bug=70112&patch=0001-Fix-70112-RFE-Allow-dirname-to-go-up-various-time.patch&revision=1437565586

Description:
------------
We can find tons of code with
$a = dirname(dirname($b));
$c = dirname(dirname(dirname(__DIR__)));
etc
Could be nice to be able to write
$a = dirname($b, 2);
$c = dirname(__DIR__, 3);
etc
Proposal: Add a new "nb" optional parameter.
Function [ <internal:standard> function dirname ] {
- Parameters [2] {
Parameter #0 [ <required> $path ]
Parameter #1 [ <optional> $nb ]
}
}
As a minor, self-contained change, could probably target 7.0
