is there a php function to evaluate to

 

C:/Folder/file.txt

Huh!

[php.ajax.coder]

C:/Folder/Folder/../file.txt

 

is the same as

 

C:/Folder/file.txt

 

but i need to evaluate the first to the second to be displayed

u could find out the current location of the running file with $_SERVER["SCRIPT_FILENAME"],

then use the explode version to put em into an array like this.

$array = explode('/',$_SERVER["SCRIPT_FILENAME"]);

 

then from there u can work to the path u want using php's array functions and then implode em back together.
