Anyway it's looking a lot like I'll have to detect the Win32 build of PHP at runtime, and choose the method based on that. All because PHP doesn't have an is_absolute function or anything similarly convenient. :-/

Ahhhh, methinks I have a competitor for a FileSystem Manager :) Perhaps I misunderstand your problem, but this works fine for me (WinXP) because realpath
[quote]Returns canonicalized absolute pathname[/quote]:
<?php
// we know __FILE__ is an absolute path $file = __FILE__; echo realpath(__FILE__) == $file ? 'The same path' : 'Not the same path';
?>
