Get parent folder of current file PHP

I've done quite a bit of searching for this, so I'm sorry if this is a dupe.
Anyway, I need to get the name of the folder the current file is in. For example, I want to convert something like example.com/folder/subfolder/file.php to subfolder.
My current code is dirname($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']), but that returns /folder/subfolder instead of subfolder. Thank you!

The simpliest way is:

basename(__DIR__);

$folder = basename(dirname(__FILE__));

dirname() used with basename() would work ... also this if you want to get them all:

$folders = explode ('/', $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']);

Now $folders would contain an array of all of the folder names.

Cheers.

You need to combine your existing code using dirname() with a call to basename():

$parent = basename(dirname($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']));
