getcwd      or  dirname   FILE       or  PHP5   basename   DIR       http   php net manual en function getcwd php  http   php net manual en function dirname php  You can use basename   to get the trailing part of the path     In your case  I d say you are most likely looking to use getcwd    dirname   FILE    is more useful when you have a file that needs to include another library and is included in another library   Eg   main php libs common php libs images editor php   In your common php you need to use functions in editor php  so you use  common php   require once dirname   FILE        images editor php     main php   require once libs common php   That way when common php is require d in main php  the call of require once in common php will correctly includes editor php in images editor php instead of trying to look in current directory where main php is run

Actually I found the best solution is the following    cur dir   explode       getcwd     echo  cur dir count  cur dir -1     if your dir is www var path  Current Path  then this returns Current path

To get the names of current directory we can use getcwd   or dirname   FILE    but getcwd   and dirname   FILE    are not synonymous  They do exactly what their names are  If your code is running by referring a class in another file which exists in some other directory then these both methods will return different results  For example if I am calling a class  from where these two functions are invoked and the class exists in some  controller goodclass php from  index php then getcwd   will return    and dirname   FILE    will return  controller
