Echo a directory name and not the path

[Jethro]

For a first creation I made a default index page for all the
tutorials/test PHP stuff (tables, links, etc). Now I want each index
to be named the same as their respective directory but I can't seem to
find a way to do this without including the path.

Can somebody please point me in the right direction

For starters, try producing a clearer explanation, perhaps with some
examples. I, for one, have no idea what you are trying to convey.

The way I read it ...
tutorials/tables/index.php
tutorials/links/index.php
tutorials/etc/index.php
.... and wants ...
tutorials/tables/tables.php
tutorials/links/links.php
tutorials/etc/etc.php

Solution : name the folders and files as you go along.

Sorry to both of you for being unclear.

I made a PHP script that'll generate and link the contents of a
directory with an output of HTML (organized in a tidy fashion,
filtered/etc). I'll name the script index.php and drop it in every
directory that has a lot of odds and ends

What I'm looking to do is to automatically display the name of the
directory as the title of the page (not <title>*</title> but maybe)
but just some fill to give the page a more balanced and complete look

echo getcwd() . "\n"; ----will give me /var/www/html/stuff/Forms and I
want to look from the right for the first / and use everything from
the right of that. Unless there's a better way.


Sorry again for being unclear
