note 13886 deleted from function.dirname by sniper

For a website I have created, I needed to use the directoryname to define the variable $language. However, dirname gives a total path (i.e. "/~s751294/att/bla/en"), and not just the lowest subdir (i.e. "en"). The script below does! <? // 1. find filename $language = $PHP_SELF; // 2. find dirname $language = dirname($language); // 3. dirname might exist of more than 1 subdirs // if ONE "/" is found: this is the last subdir // if MORE THAN ONE "/" are found: not the last subdir $subdir = 1; while ($subdir) { if (substr_count($language,"/")>1) { // not at the bottom yet... $language = dirname($language); } else { // we are at the bottom! $language = ereg_replace("/","",$language); $subdir = 0; } } echo "this is the lowest directory: $language"; ?>
