getting base directory

[Aaron Gray]

I want a function that gives me the base directory of a script.

So when given the script file '/var/www/test.org/html/test/index.php' from
$_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME'] it returns '/var/www/test.org/html/test/'.

I am wondering the neatest way to do this ?

I cannot find a reverse string search function.

Many thanks in advance,

Aaron
