note 52787 added to function.realpath

The htmlpath function suggested beforehand can be useful, but causes problems on (my) webserver under windows. My apache gives me backslashes in the $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] variable, but normal slashes in any path given back by the realpath() function. So the str_replace function doesn't work. Possible solution: Ensure the use of the same slashes by using realpath($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']) instead of $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] only. So the example looks like: <?php function htmlpath($relative_path) { $realpath = realpath($relative_path); $htmlpath = str_replace(realpath($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']),'',$realpath); return $htmlpath; } echo '<img src="', htmlpath('../../relative/path/to/file.ext'), '" border=1>'; ?> ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.realpath.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+52787 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+52787&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+52787&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+52787&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+52787&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+52787&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+52787&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
