Retrieving Directory Name from File Path Name in PHP
How To Get the Directory Name out of a File Path Name in PHP?
✍: FYIcenter.com
If you have the full path name of a file, and want to get the directory name portion of the path name, you can use the dirname() function. It breaks the full path name at the last directory path delimiter (/) or (\), and returns the first portion as the directory name. Here is a PHP script example on how to use dirname():
<?php $pathName = "/temp/download/todo.txt"; $dirName = dirname($pathName); print("File full path name: $pathName\n"); print("File directory name: $dirName\n"); print("\n"); ?>
This script will print:
File full path name: /temp/download/todo.txt File directory name: /temp/download
