Make a path work both on linux and Windows

Question

How can I make sure that this path:

new Zend_Log_Writer_Stream(APPLICATION_PATH . \'\\logs\\app.log\')  

works both on linux and on windows

Answer 1

In Linux, the path separator is /. In Windows, it is either \ or /. So just use forward slashes and you will be fine.

APPLICATION_PATH . '/logs/app.log'
