Question

I have a path like:

$path='somefolder/foo/bar/lastdir';

and I want to remove the last part, so I have:

$path='somefolder/foo/bar';

Like I went one folder up.

I’m really newbie in php, maybe its just one function, although I can’t find it anywhere.

Answer 1

You could try this (tested and works as expected):

$path = 'somefolder/foo/haha/lastone';
$parts = explode('/', $path);
array_pop($parts);
$newpath = implode('/', $parts);

$newpath would now contain somefolder/foo/haha.
