Bug description: Adding an optional $directorySeparator parameter to realpath()
Description:
------------
Correct me if I'm wrong, but there doesn't seem to be a single
PHP-function that requires backslashes in pathnames on a Windows-box. They
all work happily with forward slashes. Personally, I have stopped using
backslashes altogether, but there's a single function that's always a
thorn in my side: realpath(). That frequently leads to ugly work-arounds
such as this:
$path = str_replace('\\', '/', realpath($rawpath));
So I'd like to suggest adding an optional $directorySeparator parameter,
that would default to the DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR constant:
$path = realpath($rawpath, '/');
(Actually I'd prefer $directorySeparator to default to '/', but letting it
default to DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR will cause no incompatibilities with
anyone's existing code...)
Hope that makes sense to you :0)
