btherl Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 There's actually a function specifically for that http://sg.php.net/manual/en/function.dirname.php Edit: In your case, it looks like you want to go 2 levels up. So just call the function twice if that's what you want. Things are messier if you want a trailing slash to be dealt with differently..
