parse_ini_file
If you did want to convert the array into variables you could do the following:
$parts = pathinfo($file);
foreach ($parts as $k => $v) ${$k} = $v;
pathinfo
(PHP 4 >= 4.0.3, PHP 5)
pathinfo — 返回文件路径的信息
说明
mixed pathinfo
( string $path
[, int $options
] )
pathinfo() 返回一个关联数组包含有 path 的信息。包括以下的数组单元：dirname，basename 和 extension。
可以通过参数 options 指定要返回哪些单元。它们包括：PATHINFO_DIRNAME，PATHINFO_BASENAME 和 PATHINFO_EXTENSION。默认是返回全部的单元。如果不是要求取得所有单元，则本函数返回字符串。
Example#1 pathinfo() 例子
<?php
$path_parts = pathinfo("/www/htdocs/index.html");
echo $path_parts["dirname"] . "\n";
echo $path_parts["basename"] . "\n";
echo $path_parts["extension"] . "\n";
?>
上例将输出：
/www/htdocs index.html html
Note: 有关取得当前路径信息的说明，请阅读预定义变量一节。

if you call pathinfo with a filename in url-style (example.php?with=parameter), make sure you remove the given parameters before, otherwise they will be returned as part of the extension.

Note that this function seems to just perform string operations, and will work even on a non-existent path, e.g.
<?php
print_r(pathinfo('/no/where/file.txt'));
?>
which will output:
Array
(
[dirname] => /no/where
[basename] => file.txt
[extension] => txt
[filename] => file
)

Building on David Blinco's function, the following will:
1. Return the correct protocol for secure requests (https)
2. Throw an exception for invalid files
3. Ensure the returned url separates directories with forward slashes (David's will not on Windows systems).
function mapPath ($filepath) {
$realpath = realpath($filepath);
$dir;
// Verify that the path passed is real and harvest the bottom directory
if (is_file($realpath)) {
$dir = dirname($realpath);
}
elseif (is_dir($realpath)) {
$dir = $realpath;
}
else {
throw new Exception('File does not exist: ' . $realpath);
}
// Make sure the path is not lower than the server root
if (strlen($dir) < strlen($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']))
throw new Exception("Cannot create http path below server http root.");
$path = ((isset($_SERVER['HTTPS']) && strtolower($_SERVER['HTTPS']) != 'off') ? 'https' : 'http') . '://' . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] . substr($realpath, strlen($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']));
if (DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR == '\\')
$path = str_replace('\\', '/', $path);
return $path;
}

This function is not perfect, but you can use it to convert a relative path to a URL.
Please email me if you can make any improvements.
<?php
function mapURL($relPath) {
$filePathName = realpath($relPath);
$filePath = realpath(dirname($relPath));
$basePath = realpath($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']);
// can not create URL for directory lower than DOCUMENT_ROOT
if (strlen($basePath) > strlen($filePath)) {
return '';
}
return 'http://' . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] . substr($filePathName, strlen($basePath));
}
?>

If you have filename with utf-8 characters, pathinfo will strip them away:
print_r(pathinfo("/mnt/files/飛兒樂團光茫.mp3"));
.. will display:
Array
(
[dirname] => /mnt/files
[basename] => .mp3
[extension] => mp3
[filename] =>
)

Note that in PHP 4 (if you're stuck using it), pathinfo only provides dirname, basename, and extension, but not filename. This function will not split a file's stem and extension for you.

Heres a funciton to get the same results from php 4+ but you will have to call pathinfo_filename() instead of pathinfo().
<?php
if(version_compare(phpversion(), "5.2.0", "<")) {
function pathinfo_filename($path) {
$temp = pathinfo($path);
if($temp['extension'])
$temp['filename'] = substr($temp['basename'],0 ,strlen($temp['basename'])-strlen($temp['extension'])-1);
return $temp;
}
} else {
function pathinfo_filename($path) {
return pathinfo($path);
}
}
?>

You shouldn't assign values as it is described in previous post
// wrong:
list( $dirname, $basename, $extension, $filename ) = array_values( pathinfo($file) );
if $file has no extension, you get wrong variable values: $extension would be assigned with 'filename' array element of pathinfo() result, but $filename - would be empty.

If you want to easily assign the values returned by pathinfo to separate variable names, list isn't enough. You can use array_values() first to convert the associative array into the indexed array that list() expects:
// throws notices, variables aren't set
list( $dirname, $basename, $extension, $filename ) = pathinfo($file);
// works
list( $dirname, $basename, $extension, $filename ) = array_values( pathinfo($file) );

Sometimes, it's interessant to get the basename without extension.
So, I appended a new entry 'basenameWE' (Basename Without Extension) to the returned array.
<?php
// pathinfo improved
function pathinfo_im($path) {
$tab = pathinfo($path);
$tab["basenameWE"] = substr($tab["basename"],0
,strlen($tab["basename"]) - (strlen($tab["extension"]) + 1) );
return $tab;
}
$my_path = "/var/www/html/example.html";
echo "<pre>\n";
print_r( pathinfo_im($my_path) );
echo "</pre>\n";
?>
Out :
Array
(
[dirname] => /var/www/html
[basename] => example.html
[extension] => html
[basenameWE] => example
)

It is true that if you put a directory into pathinfo, usually the extension is empty. But, if the directory name is /www/example.com/ for example, you will have the following output:
Array
(
[dirname] => /www
[basename] => example.com
[extension] => com
)
So, it is the same as a file.

If a file has more than one 'file extension' (seperated by periods), the last one will be returned.
For example:
<?php
$pathinfo = pathinfo('/dir/test.tar.gz');
echo 'Extension: '.$pathinfo['extension'];
?>
will produce:
Extension: gz
and not tar.gz

If you want only the file extension, use this:
<?php
$extension = substr(strrchr($filename, "."), 1);
?>
This is many times faster than using pathinfo() and getting the value from array.

Further to my previous post.
This affects servers that run PHP as a cgi module
If you have your own server:
You can use the AcceptPathInfo directive to force the core handler to accept requests with PATH_INFO and thereby restore the ability to use PATH_INFO in server-side includes.

Convert a URL to the local file path and vice versa, convert a local file path to a URL.

strstr( PHP_OS, "WIN") ? $slash = "\\" : $slash = "/";
// This is the location of the php file that contains this

This code is to work in index.php/var/var

$viewcode = explode('/', $PATH_INFO);
$num = count($viewcode);
if($num % 2 == 0) {

And, of course, to account for the problem noted in the first post whereby calling a directory, not a file, messes with the output of pathinfo(), you can include the following test:
if($pathinfo[extension] == "") {
$deep++;
}
Ooops...sorry for missing that.

Here's a neat wee function to grab the relative path to root (especially useful if you're using mock-directories to pass variables into scripts with mod_rewrite). The function simply iterates through every occurence of "/" within the REQUEST_URI environment variable, appending "../" to the output for every instance:
<?php
function path_to_root($path) {
$pathinfo = pathinfo($path);
$deep = substr_count($pathinfo[dirname], "/");
$path_to_root = "./";
for($i = 1; $i <= $deep; $i++) {
$path_to_root .= "../";
}
return $path_to_root;
}
path_to_root($REQUEST_URI);
?>

If you run this on a directory, basename is the last directory in the path, dirname is the path before the final directory and extension is empty.
