PHP Get Name of Current Directory

PHP Get name of current directory

getcwd();

or

dirname(__FILE__);

or (PHP5)

basename(__DIR__)

You can use basename() to get the trailing part of the path :)

In your case, I'd say you are most likely looking to use getcwd(), dirname(__FILE__) is more useful when you have a file that needs to include another library and is included in another library.

Eg:

main.php
libs/common.php
libs/images/editor.php

In your common.php you need to use functions in editor.php, so you use

common.php:

require_once dirname(__FILE__) . '/images/editor.php';

main.php:

require_once libs/common.php

That way when common.php is require'd in main.php, the call of require_once in common.php will correctly includes editor.php in images/editor.php instead of trying to look in current directory where main.php is run.

PHP : Get current directory name

You just want the last element of an array:

$page_name = dirname(__FILE__);
$each_page_name = explode('/', $page_name);
echo end($each_page_name);

PHP - current folder / directory name

getcwd();

or

dirname(__FILE__);

or (PHP5)

basename(__DIR__)

php get URL of current file directory

I've found a solution here:
https://stackoverflow.com/a/1240574/7295693

This is the code I'll now be useing:

function get_current_file_url($Protocol='http://') {
   return $Protocol.$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'].str_replace($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'], '', realpath(__DIR__)); 
}

how to get a path of my working folder in php?

define('ROOT', realpath(dirname(__FILE__) . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . '..' . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR));

you can use

__FILE__

How to reference the current directory name, filename and file contents with RecursiveDirectoryIterator loop?

//How do I reference the file here to obtain its contents?
    $widget_text = file_get_contents(???); 

$files_widgets is a SplFileInfo, so you have a few options to get the contents of the file.

The easiest way is to use file_get_contents, just like you are now. You can concatenate together the path and the filename:

$filename = $files_widgets->getPathname() . '/' . $files_widgets->getFilename();
$widget_text = file_get_contents($filename);

If you want to do something funny, you can also use openFile to get a SplFileObject. Annoyingly, SplFileObject doesn't have a quick way to get all of the file contents, so we have to build a loop:

$fo = $files_widgets->openFile('r');
$widget_text = '';
foreach($fo as $line)
    $widget_text .= $line;
unset($fo);

This is a bit more verbose, as we have to loop over the SplFileObject to get the contents line-by-line. While this is an option, it'll be easier for you just to use file_get_contents.

Get the current directory name via php script in another directory

I just recreated all of this setup and was able to get base dir-name using:

echo basename($_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"]);

in /includes/header.php.

Make sure to have your .htaccess code like this:

Options +Indexes
IndexOptions FancyIndexing
IndexOptions FoldersFirst IgnoreCase XHTML NameWidth=*
IndexOptions SuppressHTMLPreamble SuppressRules HTMLTable
IndexOptions IconHeight=16 IconWidth=16
IndexOptions SuppressDescription

AddType text/html .php
Addhandler application/x-httpd-php .php

HeaderName /includes/header.php
ReadmeName /includes/footer.html

PHP: Get last directory name from path

Easiest way would be to use basename($yourpath) as you can see here: http://php.net/basename
