echo strrchr($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], '/');

strrchr returns the same adress as it was before, but i need all until last /.

Update: $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] = /users/dev/index.php i need /users/dev/

Answer 1

You can use substr() and strrpos():

$url = '/users/dev/index.php';
echo substr($url, 0, strrpos($url, '/'));

Answer 2

Use regex if you have different .php file names

$s = '/users/dev/index.php';

preg_match('~^(.*?)([^/]+\.php)~', $s, $m);
print_r($m);

Use substr() if you only have index.php

$m = substr($s, 0, strpos($s, 'index.php'));
print_r($m);

Answer 3

check this

print_r(pathinfo($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'],PATHINFO_DIRNAME));
