    getting base directory

    I want a function that gives me the base directory of a script.

    So when given the script file '/var/www/test.org/html/test/index.php' from
    $_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAM E'] it returns '/var/www/test.org/html/test/'.

    I am wondering the neatest way to do this ?

    I cannot find a reverse string search function.

    Many thanks in advance,

    Aaron
