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 "/"

Just make sure that you never need to use this particular code on a Unix-style path with an escaped character or space, such as this: /home/eprice/includes/php\ scripts/script.php Of course, it's very rare to see the above, but should be a consideration.
