Re: Comparison function for directories?

*** Rik Wasmus escribió/wrote (Thu, 28 Feb 2008 19:00:09 +0100):
$dir1 = "/usr/local/apache2/htdocs/"
$dir2 = "/usr/local/apache2/htdocs"

$is_the_same_dir = realpath($dir1) == realpath($dir2);

Just two remarks:

- In Unix, the file system is case sensible. So (depending on what you need
this for) you may use === instead.

- realpath() returns FALSE when the path does not exist; take it into
account.
