Very Simple Split Path

trancemission

This is a very simple problem and I have tried all examples I can find but still not working, I have tried a different exmaples to try and do this but none work.

I have a file manager and I want it to be able to navigate folders, I need to get the current directory of the file from which it is run.

ie: I have file list.php in full path http://localhost/security/admin/list.php

I need to have a variable available in this document that contains the path from the root of the server ie:

/security/list/

I have tried many ( split(), explode(), parse_url() ) but no luck

Many Thanx

split should work, if you know which elements you need...
$sPath ="http://www.bla.com/path/to/file.php";
$aPieces = split('/', $sPath);
echo $aPieces[4].$aPieces[5];
echo 'The pieces are:';
echo '<pre>';
print_r($aPieces);
echo '</pre>';

Or you could also try looking at the functions dirname() and basename() in the manual. dirname() will return your the directory part of the path without the filename, i.e.

$current_directory = dirname($PHP_SELF);

$current_directory will now contain the directory path of the current script from the root of the webserver.

To get the full path on disk:

$current_directory = dirname($DOCUMENT_ROOT.$PHP_SELF);

This will give you the full path on disk.

G'luck,
