New Comment:
There are encodings where 0x2f (/) and 0x5c (\) are valid bytes within
multi-byte
characters, so basename() has to be locale-aware to deal with that.
Fundamentally, I don't really see why you would expect basename() to be able to
deal sensibly with a configured locale that you don't have installed. Your test
script behaves fine provided nb_NO.utf8 is available.
Not a bug -> closing.

Here's a replacement, but without the $suffix parameter:
function IV_basename($name)
{ $name = strrchr($name,DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR);
if ($name) return substr($name,1);
return false;
}

There is no return value (it may be false or an empty string), and locale -a
does not include "nb_NO". However, the site is used in Norway for Norwegian
users, so it must be able to handle Norwegian characters. The basename function
should not make such distinctions, so I have written my own - which works
independently of locale or character set.
The php version has been corrected above because the bug report did not give
that choice. My suggested replacement could not be uploaded because the site
did not accept a text file, even if it stated that it was the only filetype
accepted. I also had great trouble getting the right CAPTCHA (Oh, yes, I can
add numbers! :) )

What's the return value of setlocale? Does locale -a show that locale?

Even if I have defined setlocale('nb_NO.utf8");
the basename functions strips off some national characters.
Test script:
---------------
echo basename('/directory/Ãving.png");
Expected result:
----------------
Ãving.png
Actual result:
--------------
ving.png
