I'm looking for two predefined variables...

[hammerslane]

Scenario: The script location is at /home/server/e/example.com/htdocs/folder/contact.php on the server.

Question: does a predefined variable exist which contains either of these values:

'contact.php'
'/folder/'


$_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] is the closest I can find - but that's just a combination of the two.

If predefined variables do not exist for either of these values, is there a way to create a variable containing them?

If there is no way to create either of these variables, please let me know.

Thanks very much for reading my post.

You can parse it fairly easily:

<?php
$parts = explode('/', $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']);
$file = array_pop($parts);
$path = implode('/', $parts) . '/';
echo "<p>path: $path</p>\n";
echo "<p>file: $file</p>\n";
?>

Thanks NogDog.

I remember thinking of that option, but quickly dismissing it, "because what if the file name contained a forward slash?"
I now realise that I am an idiot.

Or you coud use base_file and base_dir.

The not-so-messy way, with PHP's predefined __FILE__:
$file = basename(__FILE__);
$folder = dirname(__FILE__);
