One of the things I like about PHP, is if you think of something that you need like this, someone else has already thought about it and provided a function to do it. Try;

For example, I need "test.txt" from "c:\myfiles\test.txt" It should also work with the / character, in other words, give "test.txt" from "/htdocs/myfiles/test.txt" With Regards, Sharat _________________________________________________________________ Send and receive Hotmail on your mobile device: http://mobile.msn.com -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
