Replace PHP's realpath()

问题

Apparently, realpath is very buggy. In PHP 5.3.1, it causes random crashes. In 5.3.0 and less, realpath randomly fails and returns false (for the same string of course), plus it always fails on realpath-ing the same string twice/more (and of course, it works the first time).

Also, it is so buggy in earlier PHP versions, that it is completely unusable. Well...it already is, since it's not consistent.

Anyhow, what options do I have? Maybe rewrite it by myself? Is this advisable?

回答1:

Thanks to Sven Arduwie's code (pointed out by Pekka) and some modification, I've built a (hopefully) better implementation:

/**
 * This function is to replace PHP's extremely buggy realpath().
 * @param string The original path, can be relative etc.
 * @return string The resolved path, it might not exist.
 */
function truepath($path){
    // whether $path is unix or not
    $unipath=strlen($path)==0 || $path{0}!='/';
    // attempts to detect if path is relative in which case, add cwd
    if(strpos($path,':')===false && $unipath)
        $path=getcwd().DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR.$path;
    // resolve path parts (single dot, double dot and double delimiters)
    $path = str_replace(array('/', '\\'), DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR, $path);
    $parts = array_filter(explode(DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR, $path), 'strlen');
    $absolutes = array();
    foreach ($parts as $part) {
        if ('.'  == $part) continue;
        if ('..' == $part) {
            array_pop($absolutes);
        } else {
            $absolutes[] = $part;
        }
    }
    $path=implode(DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR, $absolutes);
    // resolve any symlinks
    if(file_exists($path) && linkinfo($path)>0)$path=readlink($path);
    // put initial separator that could have been lost
    $path=!$unipath ? '/'.$path : $path;
    return $path;
}

NB: Unlike PHP's realpath, this function does not return false on error; it returns a path which is as far as it could to resolving these quirks.

Note 2: Apparently some people can't read properly. Truepath() does not work on network resources including UNC and URLs. It works for the local file system only.

回答2:

here is the modified code that supports UNC paths as well

static public function truepath($path)
{
    // whether $path is unix or not
    $unipath = strlen($path)==0 || $path{0}!='/';
    $unc = substr($path,0,2)=='\\\\'?true:false;
    // attempts to detect if path is relative in which case, add cwd
    if(strpos($path,':') === false && $unipath && !$unc){
        $path=getcwd().DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR.$path;
        if($path{0}=='/'){
            $unipath = false;
        }
    }

    // resolve path parts (single dot, double dot and double delimiters)
    $path = str_replace(array('/', '\\'), DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR, $path);
    $parts = array_filter(explode(DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR, $path), 'strlen');
    $absolutes = array();
    foreach ($parts as $part) {
        if ('.'  == $part){
            continue;
        }
        if ('..' == $part) {
            array_pop($absolutes);
        } else {
            $absolutes[] = $part;
        }
    }
    $path = implode(DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR, $absolutes);
    // resolve any symlinks
    if( function_exists('readlink') && file_exists($path) && linkinfo($path)>0 ){
        $path = readlink($path);
    }
    // put initial separator that could have been lost
    $path = !$unipath ? '/'.$path : $path;
    $path = $unc ? '\\\\'.$path : $path;
    return $path;
}

For those Zend users out there, THIS answer may help you, as it did me:

$path = APPLICATION_PATH . "/../directory";
$realpath = new Zend_Filter_RealPath(new Zend_Config(array('exists' => false)));
$realpath = $realpath->filter($path);

回答4:

I have never heard of such massive problems with realpath() (I always thought that it just interfaces some underlying OS functionality - would be interested in some links), but the User Contributed Notes to the manual page have a number of alternative implementations. Here is one that looks okay.

Of course, it's not guaranteed these implementations take care of all cross-platform quirks and issues, so you'd have to do thorough testing to see whether it suits your needs.

As far as I can see though, none of them returns a canonicalized path, they only resolve relative paths. If you need that, I'm not sure whether you can get around realpath() (except perhaps executing a (system-dependent) console command that gives you the full path.)

I know this is an old thread, but it is really helpful.

I meet a weird Phar::interceptFileFuncs issue when I implemented relative path in phpctags, the realpath() is really really buggy inside phar.

Thanks this thread give me some lights, here comes with my implementation based on christian's implemenation from this thread and this comments.

Hope it works for you.

function relativePath($from, $to)
{
    $fromPath = absolutePath($from);
    $toPath = absolutePath($to);

    $fromPathParts = explode(DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR, rtrim($fromPath, DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR));
    $toPathParts = explode(DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR, rtrim($toPath, DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR));
    while(count($fromPathParts) && count($toPathParts) && ($fromPathParts[0] == $toPathParts[0]))
    {
        array_shift($fromPathParts);
        array_shift($toPathParts);
    }
    return str_pad("", count($fromPathParts)*3, '..'.DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR).implode(DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR, $toPathParts);
}

function absolutePath($path)
{
    $isEmptyPath    = (strlen($path) == 0);
    $isRelativePath = ($path{0} != '/');
    $isWindowsPath  = !(strpos($path, ':') === false);

    if (($isEmptyPath || $isRelativePath) && !$isWindowsPath)
        $path= getcwd().DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR.$path;

    // resolve path parts (single dot, double dot and double delimiters)
    $path = str_replace(array('/', '\\'), DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR, $path);
    $pathParts = array_filter(explode(DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR, $path), 'strlen');
    $absolutePathParts = array();
    foreach ($pathParts as $part) {
        if ($part == '.')
            continue;

        if ($part == '..') {
            array_pop($absolutePathParts);
        } else {
            $absolutePathParts[] = $part;
        }
    }
    $path = implode(DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR, $absolutePathParts);

    // resolve any symlinks
    if (file_exists($path) && linkinfo($path)>0)
        $path = readlink($path);

    // put initial separator that could have been lost
    $path= (!$isWindowsPath ? '/'.$path : $path);

    return $path;
}

回答6:

On Windows 7, the code works fine. On Linux, there is a problem in that the path generated starts with (in my case) home/xxx when it should start with /home/xxx ... ie the initial /, indicating the root folder, is missing. The problem is not so much with this function, but with what getcwd returns in Linux.
