Note Submitter: Dan Langille ---- If you find that basename is corrupting the original string, you're seeing this bug: http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=15234 To get around it, take a copy of the string and use that in your call to basename. For example: <?php $a=array("x.y"); foreach($a as $b) { $tmp = $b .''; $c=basename($tmp,".y"); print "\$c is '$c'<br>\n"; print $a[0] . "<br>\n"; print $tmp . "<br>\n"; } ?> Gives this: $c is 'x' x.y x Note that $tmp has been corrupted. If you didn't do that assignment with the string concatenation, $b would have been corrupted too. As well as $a[0].
