Yes, I’m lazy because if I want to manual, I’ll find a method to find current directory instead of reinventing the wheel. Hehehe, so, here’s what I do to find current directory :

echo dirname(__FILE__);

Now, I have new post for my blog .

Update: As comments from readers, you can also use getcwd() to get equal result.

Is there anyway to get just the directory?

for example:

http://www.internet.com/DIRECTORY/page.php

all i need to extract is DIRECTORY, but havent found anyway of doing this yet.

Many thanks in advance.

P.S I meant to say I need the directory of what the clients browser would see, and not my server path

Thanks Arief

I tried out the script and it was a success, but I have decided to just declare the part as a fixed variable, as it makes my other scripts a lot easier to tidy up,

Many thanks.
