Description 

Author

Christian Vigh

This class can manage file and folder paths in Windows and Linux or other Unix systems.

It can perform several types of operations with file and directory paths in a way that works in different operating systems. Currently it can:

- Get the real path of a file, even if the file does not exists (which the builtin PHP function realpath() is unable to do)
- Walk through a directory, applying selection criterion in the same spirit as the Unix find command
- Get the full path of an executable file, provided it resides in one of the directories listed by your PATH environment variable. On Windows platforms, it also takes into account your PATHEXT environment variable to search for the appropriate binaries when no executable file extension has been specified.
- Match a wildcard against a filename, much like the MS-DOS style
- Get an ls style output for file permissions
- And many more utility functions, related to handling filename extensions

Prize: One year server license IP to country, region, city, latitude, longitude, ZIP code, time zone, area code database		 PHP provides a good set of functions to access information of files and directories in a platform independent manner but some things are a little different between Windows and Linux or other Unix like platforms.

This package provides utility functions that can perform file and directory functions that are not available in PHP or have different ways of being implemented in different operation systems.

It can perform operations like getting the real path of a file that many not yet exist, search for files that match a criteria like the find command, get the path of executable commands considering the PATHEXT variable on Windows, etc..

echo ( "List of files in the current directory :\n" ) ;
