Although, after looking a little closer, it has a weird behavior that I didn't
expect.

if you call it from within a file from your DOCUMENT_ROOT it returns the
filename itself.  But, if you call it from a file within a subdirectory it gives
you the expected behavior of returning the parent directory structure.

I would have thought it would simply return / if it were in the DOCUMENT_ROOT.

Strange!
