not show sub folders echo getcwd()

[gobblegob]

Hi guys i have searched and searched but i cannot work out how to only return the top folder eg this shows..
/home/username/public_html/dev/toolbar
i want to only show with no /
toolbar

                       <?php
                        // current directory
                        echo getcwd() . "\n";
                       ?>

Thanks in advanced.

This is not hard but take time to work,so i will give you an idea to try it yourself.
the idea :
make the "/" character is the key of the array(using function i don't remember it)
for example ::
the array is
/home/username/public_html/dev/toolbar

if the "/" is the key so ==>> array[0]=home
array[1]=username
array[2]=public_html

if you want only last one you have to count the array element(also function)
example
this array
/home/username/public_html/dev/toolbar
$count =5;(because the / is the key)

so you get $count-1=4 ===>>> array[4]

i am sorry but if i remember functions i will tell you..
Try to think about it yourself..

Hey.

To get only the "toolbar" part of "/home/username/public_html/dev/toolbar" you can use the basename function.
[code=php]<?php
$dir = '/home/username/public_html/dev/toolbar';
echo basename($dir);
// Output: toolbar
?>[/code]

Thanks Alti that is exactly what i needed i did look basename before this post but i couldnt make sense from it, so i was looking into using

string dirname ( string $path )

but i dont need to now. Thank you!
