I'll set the scene...
- I've got a file example.php
- That particular file is in a folder called test
- The full file path is /root/user/website/htdocs/test/example.php
What I'd like is to echo the directory the file is in ie. test
I've managed to do this by reading the functions and creating the script below, is this a bad way of going about this? is there an easier way?
outputs
test
Thanks in advance.

PHP has a constant for this:
echo __DIR__;
if you just want to have the last part of the path - test - in your case, then use basename[]
echo basename[__DIR__];

I'd suggest you the following code:
echo array_pop[explode['/', dirname[__FILE__]]];
If your PHP version is above 5.3.0, you can replace dirname[__FILE__] with __DIR__

Considering this path
store.com/products/electronics/index.php
This also works with include[]
The 3rd combination should work for the OP.
$_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];
/products/electronics/index.php
dirname[$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']];
/products/electronics
basename[dirname[$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']]];
electronics
basename[$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']];
index.php

getcwd — Gets the current working directory
Description
getcwd[]: string|false
Parameters
This function has no parameters.
Return Values
Returns the current working directory on success, or false on failure.
On some Unix variants,
getcwd[] will return false if any one of the parent directories does not have the readable or search mode set, even if the current directory does. See chmod[] for more information on modes and permissions.
Examples
Example #1 getcwd[] example
The above example will output something similar to:
/home/didou /home/didou/cvs
Caution
If the PHP interpreter has been built with ZTS [Zend Thread Safety] enabled, the current working directory returned by getcwd[] may be different from that returned by operating system interfaces. External libraries [invoked through FFI] which depend on the current working directory will be affected.

getcwd[] returns the path of the "main" script referenced in the URL.
dirname[__FILE__] will return the path of the script currently executing.
I had written a script that required several class definition scripts from the same directory. It retrieved them based on filename matches and used getcwd to figure out where they were.
Didn't work so well when I needed to call that first script from a new file in a different directory.

given a link
/some/link->/some/location/path
with linux bash,
if within the linked drawer /some/link
cd .. goes upper link /some/
cd -P .. goes upper destination /some/location/
with php
fopen ["../file"] goes upper destination /some/location/file
some others commented about ways obtaining the path below.
I found some luck with using $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] instead
to recraft an absolute path.

getcwd[] appears to call the equivalent of PHP's realpath[] on the path. It never returns symlinks, but always the actual directory names in the path to the current working directory.

When running PHP on the command line, if you want to include another file which is in the same directory as the main script, doing just
might not work, if you run your script like this:
/$ /path/to/script.php
because the current working dir will be set to '/', and the file '/otherfile.php' does not exist, because it is in '/path/to/otherfile.php'.
So, to get the directory in which the script resides, you can use this function:
So you can use it like this:
Spent some time thinking this one out, maybe it helps someone :]

I use this code to replicate the pushd and popd DOS commands in PHP:
This allows you to change the current directory with pushd, then use popd to "undo" the directory change when you're done.

Some server's has security options to block the getcwd[]
Alternate option:
str_replace[$_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'],'', $_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME']];

"On some Unix variants, getcwd[] will return FALSE if any one of the parent directories does not have the readable or search mode set, even if the current directory does."
Just so you know, MacOS X is one of these variants [at least 10.4 is for me]. You can make it work by applying 'chmod a+rx' to all folders from your site folder upwards.

This is a function to convert a path which looks something like this:
/home/www/somefolder/../someotherfolder/../
To a proper directory path:

If getcwd[] returns nothing for you under Solaris with an NFS mounted subdirectory, you are running into an OS bug that is supposedly fixed in recent versions of Solaris 10. This same OS bug effects the include[] and require[] functions as well.

To get the username of the account:
If current directory is '/home/mike/public_html/' it would return mike.
