[Phplib-users] Windows absolute paths & template.inc

[Mike G. <mi...@op...>]

Hello,

A Back-End user suggested the following work around for Windows absolute
path names.  I can't test this myself very easily (mostly because I try
not to work in Windows and don't have things set up for it) and wanted
to pass it along to the phplib team for consideration.

comments = Hi,
Maybe i found a little bug in the template.inc script.

There is no check for Windows absolute pathnames, eg  c:\....

This workaround helps:


  function filename($filename) {
    // Check for Windows (c:/...) and UNIX relativ pathnames
    if ( (substr($filename, 1, 1) != ':')  and (substr($filename, 0, 1) != "/") ) {
          $filename = $this->root . "/" . $filename;
    }

    if (!file_exists($filename)) {
      $this->halt("filename: file $filename does not exist.");
    }

    return $filename;
  }
