note 49486 added to function.basename

If you want the current path where youre file is and not the full path then use this :) <?php echo('dir = '.basename (dirname($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']),"/")); // retuns the name of current used directory ?> Example: www dir: domain.com/temp/2005/january/t1.php <?php echo('dirname <br>'.dirname($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']).'<br><br>'); // returns: /temp/2005/january ?> <?php echo('file = '.basename ($PHP_SELF,".php")); // returns: t1 ?> if you combine these two you get this <?php echo('dir = '.basename (dirname($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']),"/")); // returns: january ?> And for the full path use this <?php echo(' PHP_SELF <br>'.$_SERVER['PHP_SELF'].'<br><br>'); // returns: /temp/2005/january/t1.php ?> ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.basename.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+49486 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+49486&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+49486&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+49486&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+49486&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+49486&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+49486&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
