In my opionion, another function is the only way to go. Having configure options decide the semantics of functions will break PEAR, so we should avoid that as much as we can.

Suggest the name then.

    what about someting like pathinfo();

    $a = pathinfo("/some/file.bla");

    => array("dirname" => "/some/",
             "basename" => "file.bla",
             "extension" => "bla");

    i could come up with some more interesting fields.

    we could also make it return just one part as a sting if used
    like this:

    $a = pathinfo("/some/file.bla",PATHINFO_BASENAME);

    => "file.bla";

    comments?
