 New Comment:

Well, that behavior might be confusing, but it is long
standing[1], and consistent with basedir() and dirname(), so it
can't be changed. A note in the docs won't hurt.

Description:
------------
using linux command line, sometimes trailing slash will make sure to identify a directory; 

my own, manual functions would first split path from filename at the _last_ slash;
 which would find NO filename, only path, in that example;

for me unexpected - so need documentation or is a bug? 

I could not find PHP 7.4.3 in the options dropbox to select using:
PHP 7.4.3 (cli) (built: Oct  6 2020 15:47:56) ( NTS )

once reported on Win2k - but discarded as "no URL function" - but I think, this is not the
point - it is just unexpected

If you still insist on that IMHO strange behaviour, I would like to add a note to the manual

Test script:
---------------
php > var_dump( pathinfo('/home/user/backup.2021-05-24/'));
array(4) {
  ["dirname"]=>
  string(10) "/home/user"
  ["basename"]=>
  string(17) "backup.2021-05-24"
  ["extension"]=>
  string(10) "2021-05-24"
  ["filename"]=>
  string(6) "backup"
}

Expected result:
----------------
array(4) {
  ["dirname"]=>
  string(10) "/home/user/backup.2021-05-24"
  // no more set - cause no filename given
}
