RE: [PHP] basename unix/windows

Replace the "\" with "/" using str_replace or some such function before using basename. Windows will handle either kind of path. Linux does not know the "\" as a file path separator. It only knows "/" Matt Friedman Web Applications Developer www.SpryNewMedia.com -----Original Message----- From: ROBERT MCPEAK [mailto:RMCPEAK@jhuccp.org] Sent: Thursday April 25, 2002 9:41 AM To: php-general@lists.php.net Subject: [PHP] basename unix/windows I'm running php on linux and wish to use basename() to get the file name from a windows path. basename() on our linux/php box can't seem to cope with the use of backslash (\) in the Windows paths I'm feeding it. In other words: basename(/usr/blah/doh/yuck/wow/abigfile.html) resolves to : abigfile.html but basename(adirectory\onawindowsbox\abigfile.html) does not resovle to abigfile.html. Does anybody have a workaround for this? Thanks! -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
