$_sever help

[imarockstar]

this is the little code snippet I have

 

<?php
$page = $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];


echo "$page";

?>

 

its returning ...    "/directory/pagename.php" ...

 

my question is .. how do i get rid of the "/directory/" and just show "pagename.php"

Use basename().

 

Orio.

Try this 'SCRIPT_FILENAME'

 

if not you should be able to find it here ->

Try this.

 

<?php
$pages = $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];
$pages2 = explode("/", $pages);
$page = $pages2[2];
echo "$page";
?>

<?php

$page = str_replace('.php','',basename($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']));
echo "$page";

?>

[discomatt]

substr( $str, 0, -4 ); would probably be a bit faster than str_replace.

As I already mentioned:

 

Use basename().

 

Orio.

 

Example:

 

<?php

$filename = "folder/scripts/index.php";
echo basename($filename, ".php");

//Output- "index"

?>
