explode() and PHP_SELF

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Jul 11.2005

$curr_loc = $_SERVER[‘PHP_SELF’];
$root_array = explode(‘/’, $curr_loc);
echo $root_array[0];

The idea is that I find the current location and seperate the parts by “/”. I would then go through the array and see if anything is there beyond the actual page I was on, and if so, I could use it to find the current folder I am using and for other stuff. Currently, the last line returns nothing even though I am looking at a page in a subfolder.

@Bootsman123Jul 11.2005 — Why don't you test it then:
[code=php]
echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];
[/code]

You might need something like this:

http://nl3.php.net/manual/en/function.dirname.php

http://nl3.php.net/manual/en/function.basename.php

There are several example explaining what you want.

@spufiauthorJul 12.2005 — The fourth line in the code(not posted) was to echo PHP_SELF to make sure it was correct. Those file functions were what I was looking for. One answers my current question and the other answers a future question, so thanks.

Success!
