Hello!

> whats the easiest way to go from "/dir1/dir2/dir3/hello.php" to "dir3/" ?
> dirname will cut off hello.php but i want to cut dir1 and dir2 as well

<?php

$dir_path = "/dir1/dir2/dir3/hello.php";

$dirs = explode("/",$dir_path);

$numberofelements = count($dirs);

$i = 1;
foreach ($dirs as $value) {
 if ($i == ($numberofelements-1)) $lastdir = $value;
 if ($i == $numberofelements) $file = $value;
 $i++; 
}

echo $lastdir."/".$file;


?>

I believe that this will do the job
