To join directory and file names in a cross-platform manner you can use the following function. function join_path() { $num_args = func_num_args(); $args = func_get_args(); $path = $args[0]; if( $num_args > 1 ) { for ($i = 1; $i < $num_args; $i++) { $path .= DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR.$args[$i]; } } return $path; } It should do the following: $src = join_path( '/foo', 'bar', 'john.jpg' ); echo $src; // On *nix -> /foo/bar/john.jpg $src = join_path( 'C:\www', 'domain.com', 'foo.jpg' ); echo $src; // On win32 -> C:\\www\\domain.com\\foo.jpg ---- Server IP: 85.111.4.6 Probable Submitter: 85.102.186.149 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.dir.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+61372 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+61372&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+61372&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+61372&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+61372&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: non-english -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+61372&report=yes&reason=non-english Delete: already in docs -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+61372&report=yes&reason=already+in+docs Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+61372&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+61372&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
