Re: How can I solve this?

Two alternatives.. dirname(); returns basically just the path, same string as using pathinfo["dirname"] but saves that array step.. or back to the love of my life [well, the non-human one]: preg_replace("/^\/?(.*)\/[\w]+\.php$/","$1",$PHP_SELF) that strips that leading forward slash too ;-) by love of my life I mean, Regular Expressions, not that particular one :P ciao ----- Original Message ----- From: "Chris Payne" <cjp@planetoxygene.com> To: <php-db@lists.php.net> Sent: Thursday, January 19, 2006 3:58 AM Subject: RE: [PHP-DB] How can I solve this?

Wonderful thank you, it displays a single / before the dir name but I can remove that without too much trouble :-) Thank you. Chris try $x =pathinfo($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']); echo $x['dirname']; =C= | | Cal Evans | http://blog.calevans.com | | Chris Payne wrote:

Hi everyone, I am using PHP_SELF in order to get the current path on a dynamically created webpage. This gives me the following: /my_website/index.php My problem is, ALL I NEED is the directory name - no / or no index.php,

how

can I strip these out to leave JUST the folder name the file is located

in?

I need this because the page is dynamically created, and it gets templated information from a database and needs to use the foldername as the identifier between the DB entry to use for grabbing the information and

the

pages inside the directory. Any help would be really appreciated and I'm certain it's something REALLY obvious. Chris
