From: ninzya at inbox dot lv Operating system: - PHP version: 5.3.0RC4 PHP Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug description: dirname() to accept path level to return
Description: ------------ It would be great if dirname() function had a second parameter, let's say - uint $level, which would mean "how many path levels to strip off". By default this parameter could be set to 1 to not to break the backwards compatibility. Reproduce code: --------------- <?php $path ='/var/www/localhost/public_html/tpl/'; echo dirname( $path);// /var/www/localhost/public_html echo dirname( $path, 2);// /var/www/localhost echo dirname( $path, 3);// /var/www/ echo dirname( $path, 4);// /var echo dirname( $path, 5);// . echo dirname( $path, 6);// . ?> Expected result: ---------------- Expect this feature to be implemented Actual result: -------------- - -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=48659&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48659&r=trysnapshot52 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48659&r=trysnapshot53 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48659&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48659&r=fixedcvs Fixed in CVS and need be documented: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48659&r=needdocs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48659&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48659&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48659&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48659&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48659&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48659&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48659&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48659&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48659&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48659&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48659&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48659&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48659&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48659&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48659&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48659&r=mysqlcfg
