echo filename of ssi files

[waltoncreative]

I have a PHP that has within it a series of server side include PHP files.

In each of these files I would like to echo the filename (less .php).

I have tried using:

<?php echo basename($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']) ; ?>

But this only displays the name of the file ENCLOSING all of the Server Side include files.

Is there another simple script I can use?

Thanks

<?php echo basename(__FILE__, '.php'); ?>

I guess the next questions is HOW does it work...?

Can you possibly talk me through the different parts of the script to explain it please?

Also - I need to combine it with this if script:

<?php if ($urlenlarged == "WA2537") { // Show if URL matches product ?>

So your script replaces WA2537.

In effect I want to do this:

<?php if ($urlenlarged == "<?php echo basename(__FILE__, '.php'); ?>") { // Show if URL matches product ?>

But I know this isn't right as you can't put PHP inside PHP.

Thanks again for all your help!

Don't worry about the second question, I have done this which appears to work ok:

<?php if ($urlenlarged == basename(__FILE__, '.php')) { // Show if URL matches product ?>

I would still like to know what the various parts of your solution do though, if you can spare a few moments please?

<?php echo basename(__FILE__, '.php'); ?>

__FILE__ is a PHP constant that gets the full path of the current file. Unlike $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'], it refers to the actual file. As you have discovered, $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] refers to the current page (in other words, the parent page of any includes).

To see how basename() works, look it up in the PHP manual.
