note 33011 deleted from function.realpath by aidan

Note Submitter: john [at] stuckeyonline [dot] com ---- for some reason or another, i couldn't get realpath to work. so i made my own. it's very simple, but it does work. it checks vs. the current directory (the one from which the script is being run). --John ====== function myRealPath($path) { // Check if path begins with "/". if(strpos($path,"/")==0) { $path = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].$path; } else { // Strip slashes and convert to arrays. $currentDir = preg_split("/\//",dirname($_SERVER['PATH_TRANSLATED'])); $newDir = preg_split('/\//',$path); // Drop one directory from the array for each ".."; add one otherwise. foreach($newDir as $dir) { if($dir == "..") array_pop($currentDir); else array_push($currentDir,$dir); } // Return the slashes. $path = implode($currentDir,"/"); } return $path; }
