File Path Truncation

[Anon]

I've found that dirname is bombing on Windoze machines, so I'm trying to come up with a work-around. In the following code, I am attempting to chop off the file at the end of the path:

$fileName2 = ereg_replace('\%20', ' ', $fileName);
$b = split("/", $fileName2);
$b[count($b)-1] = "";
$fileName2=join("/", $b);

It's giving me a parse error. Can anyone see the mistake?

Can't see the mistake off hand (where does it say the parse error is occurring?), but I don't know why you have a backslash in the first line.

Consider something like:

$fileName2=str_replace('%20',' ', $fileName);
if(ereg("[^{/]+$",$fileName2,$matches))}
{ $fileName2=$matches[1];
}else{
//whatever to do if there is no filename
}

instead.
