directory name

Anon

How can i get the name, in letters, of the directory where i am currently working on?
It's because I need to create a different file for each directory.

Thank you.

Hi!

try what passthru(pwd) echos you.
(works only on unix systems i guess).

I work on Win2000, and unfortunately,passthru doesn't seem to work.
I guess i'll have to try with the Dir command

Thank you anyway.

getcwd(); gets full path.

Also, try phpinfo() and look at all the predefined variables in there, like SCRIPT_FILENAME and SCRIPT_NAME and REQUEST_URI, all depends on desire. Btw, REQUEST_URI includes QUERY_STRING while SCRIPT_NAME does not. Also, play with the dirname() function, it will be of use. For example, print dirname($SCRIPT_NAME); and see if it provides the desired result.

Try the dirname function

e.g

$path = "/etc/passwd";
$file = dirname ($path);
// $file is set to "/etc"

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

As an aside, the basename function returns the filename component of a path

e.g
$path = "/home/httpd/html/index.php3";
$file = basename ($path);
// $file is set to "index.php3"
