note 47407 added to function.basename

When using basename() on a path to a directory ('/bar/foo/'), the last path component ('foo') is returned, instead of the empty string one would expect. (Both PHP 4.1.2 and 4.3.8 on GNU/Linux.) No idea whether this is considered a bug or a feature -- I found it extremely annoying. Had to work around using: <?php $file=substr($path, -1)=='/'?'':basename($path) ?> Watch out! ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.basename.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+47407 Delete -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+47407&report=yes Reason: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+47407&report=yes&reason=bad+code Reason: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+47407&report=yes&reason=spam Reason: useless example -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+47407&report=yes&reason=useless+example Reason: contains commercial links -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+47407&report=yes&reason=contains+commercial+links Reason: useless note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+47407&report=yes&reason=useless+note Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+47407&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
