[PHP] ereg_replace question

[Todd Cary]

I have a string,

D:\Htdocs\gilardi\barcode\php\testwrite.php

from

  $fullpath = $HTTP_SERVER_VARS[PATH_TRANSLATED];

I want to remove the "testwrite.php" leaving

D:\Htdocs\gilardi\barcode\php\

This does not work

  $fullpath = $HTTP_SERVER_VARS[PATH_TRANSLATED];
  $fullpath = ereg_replace("\\[^\\]+$","",$fullpath) . '\\';

What have I missed?

Todd
