How can I get the folder name with PHP?

<?php

$foldername = end(explode('/', str_replace('//','/',dirname(__FILE__))));

echo $foldername;

?>

Output:
hah_this_is_my_folder

If your file path is this: /home/seval/project/hah_this_is_my_folder/index.php
Then the foldername will be hah_this_is_my_folder, so the output is that.

You can use it in whereever you want. For an example, you can use it for wordpress plugins, because sometimes users can change the plugin folder names, so you can get new plugin foldername with this code.

You know getting URL address of a file or getting DIR address of a file name is very simple in PHP.

You can also use pathinfo function to get the foldername. Here is an example:

<?php

$fullpath = dirname(__FILE__); //get the full path with this way
echo $fullpath . '<br />';

$x = pathinfo($fullpath); //get the foldername with $x["basename"]
var_dump($x);
echo '<br />' . $x['basename'] . '<br />';

$y = pathinfo($x['dirname']); //get name of parent folder of your folder
var_dump($y);
echo '<br />' . $y['basename'] . '<br />';

?>

Output:

/home/seval/workspace/test/this_is_my_folder_bitch
array(3) { ["dirname"]=> string(26) "/home/seval/workspace/test" ["basename"]=> string(23) "this_is_my_folder_bitch" ["filename"]=> string(23) "this_is_my_folder_bitch" }
this_is_my_folder_bitch
array(3) { ["dirname"]=> string(21) "/home/seval/workspace" ["basename"]=> string(4) "test" ["filename"]=> string(4) "test" }
test
