get the name of the directory

[cyberrate]

Hello!

Sorry if it's a dump question but i really need to know:

How in my PHP file can i detect the path to this file for example if i put my file in directory like this: www.myserver.com/test/file.php i need to determine the directory that it's in : /test/ ?

PHP_SELF returns only file name "file.php"

Thank you

Hm, not sure that this will work, I haven't tested it:

$thisFolder = basename( dirname($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']) );

Look at the regexps side of things...

preg_match("!^.(.*?)(/[^/]+){2}$!", $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'], $parent);
echo $parent[1];

See what it gives you..

The $parent is an array so choose 0 for the parent, 1 for grandparent dir etc...
