find the name of a directory in php

To find the name of a directory in PHP, you can use the basename() function. This function returns the trailing name component of a path.

Here's an example:

main.php
$directory_path = '/path/to/my/directory/';

// Get the name of the directory
$directory_name = basename($directory_path);

echo $directory_name; // Outputs 'directory'
169 chars
7 lines

In this example, the $directory_path variable contains the path to the directory. The $directory_name variable is assigned the result of the basename() function, which extracts the name of the directory from the path.

You can then use the $directory_name variable to reference the directory in your code.
