ID: 45279 Updated by: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Reported By: ralph at deboom dot biz Status: Assigned Bug Type: Directory function related Operating System: Debian Etch 4.0+ PHP Version: 5.2.6 Assigned To: dmitry New Comment:
It may be a BC break to change the behavior now so I would prefer to update the documentation instead. However, after having looked at the code, it seems to be a bug in the implementation (but the BC issue remains). Assigned to Dmitry (on request). Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-06-20 08:04:16] ralph at deboom dot biz Where is the support on this bug...? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-06-16 10:59:07] ralph at deboom dot biz Description: ------------ Quoted from: http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=841 [21 Dec 1998 2:06pm UTC] rasmus The correct operations of these functions should be... dirname returns everything PRIOR to the last / or \ in the path. basename returns everything AFTER the last / or \ in the path. ---------------------------------------------------------------- There are several more people on www.php.net/dirname comments who are confused by this aswell. Reproduce code: --------------- <?php echo dirname('/dir1/dir2/dir3/'); Expected result: ---------------- /dir1/dir2/dir3 Or/And update the docs: www.php.net/dirname Actual result: -------------- /dir1/dir2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=45279&edit=1
