~_~ Oops, forgot the return $dirname:
-------------------------
<?php
function __dirname($dirname) {
if (substr($dirname, -1, 1) == '/' || substr($dirname, -1, 1)
== '\\') {
$dirname = dirname($dirname.'.');
}
else {
$dirname = dirname($dirname);
}
return $dirname;
}

Ok super! :)
-------------------------------
I got a workaround for the people who are using the older versions:
<?php
function __dirname($dirname) {
if (substr($dirname, -1, 1) == '/' || substr($dirname, -1, 1)
== '\\') {
$dirname = dirname($dirname.'.');
}
else {
$dirname = dirname($dirname);
}
}

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).

Description:

Quoted from: http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=841

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
