Preserved Topic: $DOCUMENT_ROOT??? (Page 1 of 1)

I was wondering if there was a way to get the name of a directory into a PHP script without actually knowing the name of it? For example, if I have a bunch of sports teams, and each team has it's own directory, with the directory name being the teams name. Each directory will have it's own index page. I want to be able to access the directory name from within the script to be able to derive the teams name from it.

I hope I have explained myself well enough.

Thanks

getcwd() will get the current working directory from the root of the server


$temp = substr(getcwd(), "/"); get the index of the last slash (may need to reverse the slash

substr($temp); should return the string you want.

sorry max can probably do this in one line with a regexp I just suck at them

Thanks Bitdamaged

That will do just fine!!

And, I think everybody Except mr.maX sucks at regex's. I know I'm having an awful time trying to learn them.

Under Windows use this:

preg_match("/[^\\\]+$/", getcwd(), $match);

Under every other OS use this:

preg_match("/[^\\/]+$/", getcwd(), $match);

After that $match[0] will contain last folder name...

Thanks maX!

That's great.

I appreciate it greatly
