I checked :-) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-03-03 13:56:32] mmichel at chez dot com @jani: Virtual dir is kind of a symlink handled by IIS rather than the OS. Thus, the document_root for http://localhost/elsewhere/test.php is different from the one for http://localhost/local/test.php Still, browsing to http://localhost/elsewhere works, and executing http://localhost/elsewhere/test.php works. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-03-03 13:46:00] jani@php.net . . $check_path=realpath($virt); print ($checkpath === FALSE) ? "virtual dir not recognized<br>" : . . That's your code, note the tiny typo there? :) From the manual: realpath() returns FALSE on failure, e.g. if the file does not exist. I don't know what these 'Virtual dirs' are in IIS, but I guess they're not _filesystem_ things. realpath() is meant to be used with _filesystem_.. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
