	echo dirname( "/1/2/3" ) . " --" .
	     dirname( "/1/2"   ) . " --" .
	     dirname( "/1"     ) . "<br>" .
	     dirname( "1/2/3"  ) . " --" .
	     dirname( "1/2"    ) . " --" .
	     dirname( "1"      ) . "<p>";


These should produce the same output in the final condition: a null/empty string, but this is the output:

/1/2 --/1 --
1/2 --1 --1
