Hi all,
just a question why this [1] is not a bug? Well, we know why PHP is doing
this, but IMHO that's not correct.
As of my understanding this function just split a given path in parts. The
given path parameter is complete independend from the local filesystem (or
os?). It can also be the path componente of an (ftp) URI.
So, why depends the return value in this one case on the local filesystem
and without any info in the documentation?
For example if I use the result of this function in a dynamic generated pdf
file for a documentation. It's also not possible to have a correct root for
an URI. I must not use the result for a following local file access. A "\"
is definitely not the same as "/". ( var_dump('\\' == '/'); ;-) )
BTW:
With dirname() you have the same behaviour.
Regards,
Carsten
