Please try using this CVS snapshot: http://snaps.php.net/php5-latest.tar.gz For Windows: http://snaps.php.net/win32/php5-win32-latest.zip Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-03-02 08:21:05] paul at wavebreaks dot com Description: ------------ This is probably the same or related to http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=25450 and http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=18710 but since they are for Win 2k and/or closed, I thought the best bet was to open a new one. When a path-like-string is passed to dirname, if, and only if, the last entity (file, dir) is on the root (ie: only one / in the string) then dirname returns a backslash instead of a forward slash. There doesn't appear to be a config to tell PHP which part seperator to use, thus the dirname function is pointlessly broken unless you can guarentee it will never be given a root level entry. This, also, breaks your example in the documentation for header() for Location: header types. Reproduce code: --------------- print (dirname('/foo')."\n"); print (dirname('/foo/bar')."\n"); Expected result: ---------------- / /foo Actual result: -------------- \ /foo You might argue it's not a bug since Windows is meant to handle both types of path seperator, but a URI does not, and this is you main audience. This issue has been around for way past way too long. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=32162&edit=1
