Bug #9780 Updated: realpath doesn't return trailing slash

ID: 9780 Updated by: andi Reported By: fabiankessler@usa.net Old-Status: Open Status: Closed Bug Type: Directory function related PHP Version: 4.0.4 Assigned To: Comments: This is not a bug but the behavior of dirname is copied from the UNIX dirname command. The semantics is that it assumes it is getting a path to a file and it strips the first filename and gives you the rest of the path. It doesn't check if the file is really a directory or not. So the following is the behavior: dirname /tmp/ = / dirname /tmp/foo.php = /tmp dirname /tmo/. = /tmp (it assumes . is the filename) It really has nothing to do with the trailing / of realpath.
