basename -- Returns filename component of path
Description
string basename (string path [, string suffix])
Given a string containing a path to a file, this function will return the base name of the
file. If the filename ends in suffix this will also be cut off.
On Windows, both slash (/) and backslash (\) are used as path separator
character. In other environments, it is the forward slash (/).

Example 1. basename() example
$path = "/home/httpd/html/index.php";
$file = basename ($path); // $file is set to "index.php"
$file = basename ($path,".php"); // $file is set to "index"
