Detailed Description

Utilities for computing a relative filepath between two paths.

Member Function Documentation

getRelativePath()

static Wikimedia\RelPath::getRelativePath ( string $path, ?string $start = null )

static

Return a relative filepath to $path, either from the current directory or from an optional start directory.

Both paths must be absolute.

Parameters

string	$path	File path.
string | null	$start	Start directory. Optional; if not specified, the current working directory will be used.

Returns

string|false Relative path, or false if input was invalid.

joinPath()

static Wikimedia\RelPath::joinPath ( string $base, string $path )

static

Join two path components.

This can be used to expand a path relative to a given base path. The given path may also be absolute, in which case it is returned directly.

RelPath::joinPath('/srv/foo', 'bar');        # '/srv/foo/bar'
RelPath::joinPath('/srv/foo', './bar');      # '/srv/foo/bar'
RelPath::joinPath('/srv//foo', '../baz');    # '/srv/baz'
RelPath::joinPath('/srv/foo', '/var/quux/'); # '/var/quux/'

This function is similar to os.path.join() in Python, and path.join() in Node.js.

Parameters

string	$base	Base path.
string	$path	File $path to join to $base path.

Returns

string|false Combined path, or false if input was invalid.
