Who ever wrote the rp()-function. First of all, your function skips filenames or directories with "0" because you use == instead of === when comparing to an "empty" value. Second, the idea of realpath() isn't fixing useless "../" etc, but to resolve the full path of a relative directory/file or a symbolic link. So that if you run the script in '/usr/local/apache2/htdocs/' and exec realpath('uploads/test.txt') the output becomes '/usr/local/apache2/htdocs/uploads/test.txt' (as in the example) I also wonder why the implementations aren't using the DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR constant and expect Unix. ---- Server IP: 80.81.171.181 Probable Submitter: 62.142.250.245 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.realpath.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/75217 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/75217/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/75217/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/75217/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/75217/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/75217/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/75217/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/75217 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/75217 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
