note 62043 added to function.basename

If your path has a query string appended, and if the query string contains a "/" character, then the suggestions for extracting the filename offered below don't work. For instance if the path is like this: http://www.ex.com/getdat.php?dep=n/a&title=boss Then both the php basename() function, and also the $_SERVER[QUERY_STRING] variables get confused. In such a case, use: <php $path_with_query="http://www.ex.com/getdat.php?dep=n/a&title=boss"; $path=explode("?",$path_with_query); $filename=basename($path[0]); $query=$path[1]; ?> ---- Server IP: 64.71.164.2 Probable Submitter: 67.169.85.41 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.basename.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+62043 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+62043&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+62043&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+62043&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+62043&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: non-english -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+62043&report=yes&reason=non-english Delete: already in docs -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+62043&report=yes&reason=already+in+docs Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+62043&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+62043&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
