Hi James,
Yes, the DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR constant exists for the purpose of file
system compatibility, but it's use is only warranted in certain
circumstances. For example, the following code will work in both Unix
and Windows environments...
<?php include dirname(__FILE__).'/some/other/file.php'; ?>
While the following code is only compatible with Unix...
<?php if ('/' == dirname(__FILE__)) echo 'foo'; ?>
I'm suggesting those unwarranted uses of the constant be removed and
coding standards updated to improve the readability of the codebase.
Windows compatibility would not be affected.
