I have a filename stored with the directory as a value.

Ex. /var/www/remove_this.php

In my PHP script I want to remove everthing after the last ‘/’, so I can use mkdir on this path without creating a directory from the filename also.

There are so many string editing functions, I don’t know a good approach. Thanks!

    dirname() will return you the directory part of the path
