fetching path out of $SCRIPT_FILENAME

[Anon]

Hello

I need a small regural expression to get the path out of the $SCRIPT_FILENAME. $SCRIPT_FILENAME returns
the scriptname and the path. something like:
/home/www/myapps/webarrchives/search.php But I want to
get the path. Not the script name. I could use something like:
$checker = (substr(\"$SCRIPT_NAME\", -10)); but only
when I know the name of the script beforehand. I don\'t
know the name of the script beforehand. There are so
many scripts. So could I get the path. Any help I will appreciate

thanks

hello,
you can use some string functions like
strpos() or strchr() which return the first and last occurence of a 'needle' within a 'haystack'.

You will get the position and based on this you can extract the string which is before the last occurence of'/'.this is the path you want.

I have not tried working this out but i think it will work.
cheers!

Option 2
explode the $SCRIPT_FILENAME on '/' signs and put them in an Array (the parts)

for ($index = 0; $index < count($arrayName) -1; $index++)
{
$completePath .= "/$arrayName[$index]";
}
$completePath .= "/";
// done :-)

$path = dirname($SCRIPT_FILENAME).'/';
