I want to get the my exact location (only PHP page) using javascript, I'm currently using window.location to get the exact url for example: localhost/empc/myfolder/functions.php what is the code if I want to get only functions.php as a result? Is it possible? Thank you.

  • [Here's](http://phpjs.org/functions/basename/) a JS implementation of PHP's basename function. It'll get what you need. – Darren Sep 01 '15 at 05:09

You can use location object to do this, To remove the "/" before the file name you can use substring method.

 location.pathname.substring(location.pathname.lastIndexOf("/") + 1);

you can try this pretty simple

 var url = 'localhost/empc/myfolder/functions.php';

 var url = url.split('/');

 alert(url.pop());

It is possible. Use the javascript split function to separate the string into pieces and then access the last element to get the file name:

var str = "localhost/empc/myfolder/functions.php";
var arr = str.split("/");
alert(arr[arr.length-1]); //this will alert functions.php
