Path Interfaces#

PathInterface#

resolveRelative()#

<?php
public function resolveRelative(RelativePathInterface $path, bool $strict = false): self;

Convert relative path to absolute or combine two relative paths using the caller object as base.

<?php
use Arokettu\Path\RelativePath;
use Arokettu\Path\UnixPath;

$path = UnixPath::parse('/some/path');
$rel1 = RelativePath::parse('../other/path');
// trailing slashes are preserved
$rel2 = RelativePath::parse('../diff/path/');

$path->resolveRelative($rel1); // /some/other/path
// trailing slash will be present if target path has it
$rel1->resolveRelative($rel2); // ../other/diff/path/

Strict mode throws exception if traversal happens beyond root (no effect if the base path is relative):

<?php
use Arokettu\Path\RelativePath;
use Arokettu\Path\UnixPath;

$path = UnixPath::parse('/some/path');
$rel  = RelativePath::parse('../../../../etc/passwd');

$path->resolveRelative($rel); // /etc/passwd
$path->resolveRelative($rel, strict: true); // exception

getPrefix()#

Path prefix that you can’t traverse beyond like root unix path, windows drive path (C:\), and url hostname.

getComponents()#

An array of path components excluding prefix. The last component of the path is empty string if path has trailing (back)slash

isAbsolute()#

true for instances of AbsolutePathInterface. false for instances of RelativePathInterface.

isRelative()#

false for instances of AbsolutePathInterface. true for instances of RelativePathInterface.

toString() & __toString()#

Get string value of the path.

AbsolutePathInterface#

makeRelative()#

<?php
public function makeRelative(self $targetPath, ?\Closure $equals = null): RelativePathInterface;

Make relative path from base path and target path of the same type having equal prefixes. The paths are treated as case sensitive unless $equals callback is provided.

<?php

use Arokettu\Path\UnixPath;
use Arokettu\Path\UrlPath;
use Arokettu\Path\WindowsPath;

$path1 = UnixPath::parse('/home/arokettu');
$path2 = UnixPath::parse('/home/sandfox/');
// there will be a trailing slash if target path has it
$path1->makeRelative($path2); // ../sandfox/

// ignore case on Windows
$path1 = WindowsPath::parse('c:\users\arokettu');
$path2 = WindowsPath::parse('C:\Users\SandFox');
$path1->makeRelative(
    $path2,
    fn ($a, $b) => strtoupper($a) === strtoupper($b)
); // ..\SandFox

// resolve urlencoded url path
$path1 = UrlPath::parse('https://example.com/some%20path/child%20dir');
$path2 = UrlPath::parse('https://example.com/some path/child dir');
$path1->makeRelative(
    $path2,
    fn ($a, $b) => urldecode($a) === urldecode($b)
); // .

RelativePathInterface#

isRoot()#

true if the relative path is ‘root path’, i.e. full path excluding prefix. Examples:

  • \Users\SandFox for Windows path C:\Users\SandFox

  • /some path/child dir for UrlPath https://example.com/some path/child dir

  • Functionally equal to Unix path

When applying root path in resolveRelative(), it replaces the whole path excluding prefix.
