I'm working on a bug that is affecting a module I'm using. I'm not sure how this php function works so please help me understand this.

If I use basename() on the following url "/home/www/test.doc" it should return test.doc as the name of the file.

However, if for some reason the following is passed to basename: [ Register or login to view links on this board. ] what will it return? It appears to be returning "modules.php" . Does basename() find the first match for what a regular filename looks like so that modules.php satisfies the requirement? I need to actually get to test.doc somehow, is there an alternate way of writing a function to reach this last filename?

This is for a fileviewer module that is glitching out passing the proper filename to IE when it tries to download a file, it keeps calling every file modules.php and this is the only way I can see it doing that.

Cant you just use $nukeurl/test.doc or $nukeurl/folder/test.doc ?
