I don't know what the "realpath" method is since every one I've been given
that involves realpath so far doesn't work.
But here's what I'm doing now:
function is_absolute($path)
{
$regex = (PHP_OS == 'WINNT' || PHP_OS == 'WIN32')
? "/^([a-z][A-Z]:)?[\/\\]/"
: "/^\//";
return (boolean) preg_match($regex, $path);
}
Does that look safe enough? It works for Linux but since I have no Windows
environments to test on I have no idea if it works properly on Windows.
