argv 0   I ve found it much simpler to use  argv 0    The name of the executing script is always the first element in the  argv array   Unlike all other methods suggested in other answers  this method does not require the use of basename   to remove the directory tree   For example    echo   FILE    returns something like  my directory path my script php echo  argv 0   returns my script php

alex s answer is correct but you could also do this without regular expressions like so   str replace   php       basename   SERVER  SCRIPT NAME

Just use the PHP magic constant   FILE   to get the current filename   But it seems you want the part without  php  So     basename   FILE      php       A more generic file extension remover would look like this     function chopExtension  filename        return pathinfo  filename  PATHINFO FILENAME      var dump chopExtension  bob php        string 3   bob  var dump chopExtension  bob i have dots zip        string 15   bob i have dots    Using standard string library functions is much quicker  as you d expect   function chopExtension  filename        return substr  filename  0  strrpos  filename

Here is the difference between basename   FILE      php   and basename   SERVER  REQUEST URI      php     basename   FILE      php   shows the name of the file where this code is included - It means that if you include this code in header php and current page is index php  it will return header not index   basename   SERVER  REQUEST URI      php   - If you use include this code in header php  and current page is index php  it will return index not header

A more general way would be using pathinfo    Since Version 5 2 it supports PATHINFO FILENAME   So  pathinfo   FILE   PATHINFO FILENAME    will also do what you need

As some said basename   SERVER  SCRIPT FILENAME      php   and basename    FILE      php   are good ways to test this    To me using the second was the solution for some validation instructions I was making

User · Answer

When you want your include to know what file it is in  ie  what script name was actually requested   use   basename   SERVER  SCRIPT FILENAME      php     Because when you are writing to a file you usually know its name   Edit  As noted by Alec Teal  if you use symlinks it will show the symlink name instead
