Hi, Thank you for the proposal - it echoes somewhere inside me. Just a little side-view of the problem... Personally, I will be a fan of Kotlin-style Path API E.g., the path is an object so we can get path items, and get sub-path/resolve child nodes. It appeared to be quite useful in practice.

When you concat just the paths you have to think about: - normalize string part to strip ending slash

Why is it necessary to strip the ending slash?

- for windows compatibility you have to use DIRECTORY_SEPERATOR

I don't use Windows, but to the best of my knowledge, using the '/' is equivalent to the backslash. Is there a case where the difference matters?

I am really looking for your feedback, right now I have no “karma points” to create a RFC in the wiki :)

If you want to proceed with an actual RFC, the folks handing out the RFC karma would need your Wiki name. Best regards Tim Düsterhus -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: https://www.php.net/unsub.php
