Two alternatives..
dirname(); returns basically just the path, same string as using
pathinfo["dirname"] but saves that array step..
or back to the love of my life [well, the non-human one]:
preg_replace("/^\/?(.*)\/[\w]+\.php$/","$1",$PHP_SELF)
that strips that leading forward slash too ;-)
by love of my life I mean, Regular Expressions, not that particular one
:P

Subject: RE: How can I solve this?
Wonderful thank you, it displays a single / before the dir name but I
can
remove that without too much trouble :-)
Thank you.

try
$x =pathinfo($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']);
echo $x['dirname'];

Hi everyone,
I am using PHP_SELF in order to get the current path on a dynamically
created webpage. This gives me the following:
/my_website/index.php
My problem is, ALL I NEED is the directory name - no / or no
index.php,
how
can I strip these out to leave JUST the folder name the file is
located
in?
I need this because the page is dynamically created, and it gets
templated
information from a database and needs to use the foldername as the
identifier between the DB entry to use for grabbing the information
and
the
pages inside the directory.
Any help would be really appreciated and I'm certain it's something
REALLY
obvious.
Chris
