How to get the parent folder of current file

Question

url 1 - localhost/ocean/
url 2 - localhost/ocean/index.php

$file = basename($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']);
echo $file;

In both cases result is index.php and that's ok.

Now, I need to get parent folder of current file. So, in both cases result should be ocean.

Any help?

@Anant, In both cases I need the result `ocean`, not `localhost/ocean`. — qadenza, Nov 01 '16 at 06:30
@RamaLingam, result is `localhost` and `ocean`, I need `ocean` in both cases. — qadenza, Nov 01 '16 at 06:42

Use basename DIR

$file = basename(__DIR__);
echo $file; //ocean

Here I am execute the code and I get the result `ocean`. Try this one: `dirname($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']);` – Ramalingam Perumal Nov 01 '16 at 06:46
