#66 Absolute path on Windows

[PedroKTFC]

I'm using MAGMI on windows and could never get absolute file references (of the type "C:\path") to work. I used relative paths but it was a bit of a pain negotiating the windows file system.

I could see that a unix type path starting with / would work so I finally decided to see what I was doing wrong with my absolute path specification.

In the end, I tracked it down to what I think is a bug in:

function isabspath($path)
{
return ($path[0]=="." || (substr(PHP_OS,3)=="WIN" && strlen($path)>1)?$path[1]==":":$path[0]=="/");
}

PHP_OS is "WINNT" and the highlighted code returns "NT"!

I think the highlighted part should be changed to:

function isabspath($path)
{
return ($path[0]=="." || (substr(PHP_OS,0,3)=="WIN" && strlen($path)>1)?$path[1]==":":$path[0]=="/");
}

I can confirm this bug and I also can confirm that the provided changed fixes the problem!
Thanks and please commit this change to live version

This is a change to inc/magmi_utils.php. I'd be happy to make the change but I've no idea how to edit files in the git repository. Can somebody point me to some simple (!) instructions please?

in fact, this should have been already fixed in latest git. commit #e71cf1
