how to get file name only without the path slashes in PHP by web hosting
i saw your post on how to get your path, but what i wanted to do was to only get the file name..

if i have a file called gallery.php and its in the /forums/gallery.php directory, i dont want the forums part.

well, i figure it.

if i use: $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']
print $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];

OUTPUT:
/forums/gallery.php


if i have gallery.php?id=23: $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']
print $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];

OUTPUT:
/forums/gallery.php?id=23
but i only want gallery.php

this is how i did it

i broke it down to an array:

<?
function GetFileName($php_self){
$filename = explode("/", $php_self); // THIS WILL BREAK DOWN THE PATH INTO AN ARRAY
$filename = array_reverse($filename ); // THIS WILL MAKE THE LAST ELEMENT THE FIRST
return $filename[0];
}
echo GetFileName($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']);
?>

echo basename($_server['request_uri'])
