Directory Functions: Name of current directory

[teotu]

Hi,

I'm building a navigation system. I need to know how to match the current directory so that when I make a list of directories, the current directory is not hyperlinked.

<?php
$files = array();
$dir = opendir('.');
$mydir = dirname($dir);
while(($file = readdir($dir)) !== false)
{
  if($file !== '.' && $file !== '..' && is_dir($file))
  {
    $files[] = $file;
  }
}
closedir($dir);
sort($files);
for($i=0; $i<count($files); $i++)
{
  echo "<li>$files[$i]</li>"  ;
}
echo $mydir;
?>

This is the current code I have for testing.

When I echo the directories, I don't want to hyperlink the current directory.

Thanks in advance for any help.

johnny :-)

Hi there,

as I can see there is no hyperlink at all
Your 'current' directory is always '.'

Yes, I haven't put the code in for the hyperlink yet.

By current directory, I meant the directory, not the full path. I found the code that can get me there:

<?php
// get last directory in current working directory
$thisdir = substr(strrchr(getcwd(), "/"), 1);
echo $thisdir;
?>

Now I'm having difficulty getting back to my "root" directory--it's driving me nuts:

$dir = opendir("."); 

if my path is /bar/foo/foo/foo

how do I get back to the directory "bar" from wherever I may be? If "." is the current directory path, how do I specify "bar"?
