Fixing Double Slashes in Windows Path

[coderdj412]

How can I fix this?

 

File Location (where directory.php is located):

C:\xampp\htdocs\hfmw\chapter7\tartans

 

PHP code:

define('TARTAN_DOC_ROOT', '/' .  ltrim(substr(dirname(__FILE__), strlen($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'])), '/'));

define('PUBLIC_TARTAN_DIR', rtrim(TARTAN_DOC_ROOT, '/') . '/tartans/');

 

directory.php:

echo PUBLIC_TARTAN_DIR . '<br />';

 

Results:

/\hfmw\chapter7/tartans/

Try using the PHP constant: DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR instead of using "/". The constant contains the appropriate value (forward-slash or back-slash) for the operating system.

DavidAM,

It's not working. I am using XAMPP. I am getting tons of error messages.
