1. cannot be guaranteed by a normalization function, because the parts the dots point to might not exist. Resolving them without knowing if we are dealing with a symbolic or hard link is impossible. UNC paths work the same as normal paths, the only difference is their prefix (e.g. `\\ComputerName\`), in other words, they can be treated like a schemeless URL. Verbatim paths are not supported by PHP anyways, hence, they can be ignored. -- Richard "Fleshgrinder" Fussenegger -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
