Get Folder Name Of Current Directory

Question

Possible Duplicate:
PHP Get name of current directory

Today I tried to get the folder name of a directory. I was successful to an extent. But it did not meet my criteria. The code which I have is as follows.

<?php
$url = (!empty($_SERVER['HTTPS'])) ? "https://".$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'].$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] : $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
$foldername = basename($url);
echo $foldername;
?>

This returns the final value in an URL. I mean if the URL is localhost/default it returns default and when the url is localhost/default/index.php it returns index.php. I want it to return default in both the cases.

So is it possible to get the thing which I am expecting ?? Please help me out with that..

You want [`dirname()`](http://us3.php.net/manual/en/function.dirname.php) rather than `basename()`. — Michael Berkowski, Jun 17 '12 at 16:05

predefined contstants

You are probably looking for __DIR__

if you are looking for the directory in the URL rather than the file system, you could also use

$path_parts = pathinfo($_SERVER['PATH_INFO']);
$dir = $path_parts['dirname'];

Not for this use case. `__DIR__` is the directory of the current file. The OP is trying to get the directory of a URL. – Michael Berkowski Jun 17 '12 at 16:20
Thanks for pointing that out, I updated my answer to reflect it – Trey Jun 17 '12 at 16:25

<?php 

$url = "uour_url";
$array = explode('/',$url);
$count = count($array);
echo $array[$count-2];

?>

OR you can use getcwd(). This Function will return current directory.

I have not tested it but hope it will helpful to you
