note 78224 added to function.realpath

Sometimes it is helpful to check for the existance of a file which might be found by using the include_path like in include("file_from_include_path.php"); A simple function iterates the include_path and tries all possibilites, returns translated_local_path on success or false if not found. function mappath($path_to_translate){ $IncludePath=explode(PATH_SEPARATOR,get_include_path()); foreach($IncludePath as $prefix){ if(substr($prefix,-1)==DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR) $prefix=substr($prefix,0,-1); $try_path=sprintf("%s%s%s" ,$prefix,DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR,$path_to_translate); if(file_exists($try_path))return($try_path); } return false; } ---- Server IP: 212.24.129.51 Probable Submitter: 81.10.159.39 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.realpath.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/78224 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/78224/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/78224/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/78224/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/78224/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/78224/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/78224/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/78224 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/78224 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
