README

Crell/Path is a simple library that provides typed value objects for handling paths. Paths may be either a PathFragment (no leading /) or an AbsolutePath. An AbsolutePath always begins either with a / or a stream identifier.

The contents of an absolute path may also be retrieved, if there is an actual file that it points to.

A Path object's primary purpose is to centralize and abstract away the various and sundry complexities and edge cases of manipulating paths: Getting a parent path (have to handle the case where there isn't one, with or without a stream), Concatenating two paths (have to handle the leading/trailing slashes, accounting for when one path or the other is the root path), filtering out and rejecting suspicious paths that contain .., and so on.

use Crell\Path\Path;

// Creates a Path Fragment
$frag = Path::create('foo/bar');

// Creates an Absolute Path
$abs = Path::create('/baz/beep');

$new = $abs->concat($frag);

// Prints /baz/beep/foo/bar
print $new;

// Prints /baz/beep/foo
print $new->parent();

$file = '/narf.jpg';
$fileAbs = $abs->concat($file);

// Prints /baz/beep/narf.jpg
print $fileAbs;
