Hey, this library is allows you to find the real path from all that mess, if you use symlinks for some directories in your project. Just and example:

  • Project root dir: /var/www/sites/your-project
  • /var/www/sites/your-project/library is pointed to /var/www/libs/library
  • /var/www/sites/your-project/public with app.php inside is pointed to /var/www/libs/frontend (so /var/www/sites/your-project/public/app.php is pointed to /var/www/libs/frontend/app.php)

If somewhere in library (/var/www/libs/library) you do reference to some path like library/../app/config.php

  • your path be equal to /var/www/libs/library/../app/config == /var/www/libs/app/config, and guess - paths is not exists.

But there is solution - you can call SymlinkDetective::detectPath(__DIR__ . '/../app/config') and mr. SymlinkDetective will do the magic

Examples

  • SymlinkDetective::detectPath(__DIR__ . '/../app/config') returns /var/www/sites/your-project/app/config
  • SymlinkDetective::detectPath(__FILE__, '/../app/config') returns /var/www/sites/your-project/app/config
  • SymlinkDetective::detectPath(__FILE__, '/../app/unexistent-file', false) throws an Exception as file doesn't found/exists
  • SymlinkDetective::detectPath(__DIR__ . '/../unexistent-file') returns /var/www/libs/library/unexistent-file as file not found and Exception throwing is muted (3rd argument)
