dirname

(PHP 3, PHP 4 )

dirname -- Returns directory name component of path

Description

string dirname ( string path)

Given a string containing a path to a file, this function will return the name of the directory.

On Windows, both slash (/) and backslash (\) are used as path separator character. In other environments, it is the forward slash (/).

Example 1. dirname() example

<?php
$path = "/etc/passwd";
$file = dirname ($path); // $file is set to "/etc"
?>

Note: In PHP 4.0.3, dirname() was fixed to be POSIX-compliant. Essentially, this means that if there are no slashes in path , a dot ('.') is returned, indicating the current directory. Otherwise, the returned string is path with any trailing /component removed. Note that this means that you will often get a slash or a dot back from dirname() in situations where the older functionality would have given you the empty string.

See also basename(), pathinfo(), and realpath().
