ftp through internet explorer

[fintan]

I'm trying to do a ftp client through php. I have the client working but with one hicup. Say I upload a file in firefox it will just upload the file name but when I try it in internet explorer I get the file location as well. (C:\\blah\blah)
I was wondering how I would go about stripping it down to just the file name. Thanks

What you want is basename [php.net]. As the example says:

<?php
$path = "/home/httpd/html/index.php";
$file = basename($path); // $file is set to "index.php"
$file = basename($path, ".php"); // $file is set to "index"
?>

Hope that helps.

Thanks for the quick reply. That would strip out the path for ( C:\blah\blah.doc ) wouldn't it. What if the user has the doc in a different path the next time they go to upload a doc say ( D:\blah\blah.doc )

Is there away to account for that?

It will always leave you blah.doc, which I thought was what you wanted?

Oh right thanks for that. :)
