php basename

The basename() function in PHP is used to get the base name of a file or directory from a given path. It returns the trailing name component of the path, which is the file or directory name without the path information.

Here is an example usage of the basename() function:

$path = '/path/to/file.txt';
$filename = basename($path);
echo $filename; // Output: file.txt

In this example, the basename() function returns the file name file.txt from the given path /path/to/file.txt
