Message:

with this code I get filename from the current folder

<?php 

  $mydir = dirname(__FILE__);

  $myfiles = array_diff(scandir($mydir), array('.', '..')); 

  $arrsingleresult = str_replace('.php', '', $myfiles);

  print_r($arrsingleresult);

?>

Now how can I get filenames from one folder back ? (../ like this) any work around ?

My Answer:
To go one level down from the current directory using `dirname(__FILE__)`, you can use the `dirname()` function twice. Here is an example:

php
$currentDirectory = dirname(__FILE__);
$parentDirectory = dirname($currentDirectory);

echo $parentDirectory;


This code will give you the path to the parent directory of the current file. You can continue to use `dirname()` multiple times to go further up the directory structure if needed.
