# PHP Helpers: Path Functions

A collection of helpful functions related to paths, directories, and files names

## Installation

This library is installed via [Composer](http://getcomposer.org/). To install, use `composer require pointybeard/helpers-functions-paths` or add `"pointybeard/helpers-functions-paths": "~1.0"` to your `composer.json` file.

And run composer to update your dependencies:

$ curl -s http://getcomposer.org/installer | php
$ php composer.phar update

### Requirements

There are no particuar requirements for this library other than PHP 7.4 or greater.

To include all the [PHP Helpers](https://github.com/pointybeard/helpers) packages on your project, use `composer require pointybeard/helpers` or add `"pointybeard/helpers": "~1.0"` to your composer file.

## Usage

This library is a collection of helpful functions related to paths, directories, and files names. They are included by the vendor autoloader automatically. The functions have a namespace of `pointybeard\Helpers\Functions\Paths`

The following functions are provided:

- `is_path_absolute(string $path) : bool`
- `get_relative_path(string $from, string $to, bool $strict = true): string`

Example usage:

```php
getMessage());
}
// string(119) "ERROR! returned: path ../../nonexistent is relative and does not exist! Make sure path exists (or set $strict to false)"

/** Same thing again, but this time with strict checking turned off **/
try{
Paths\get_relative_path('/var/www/mysite', '../../nonexistent', false);
} catch (\Exception $ex) {
var_dump('ERROR! returned: ' . $ex->getMessage());
}
// string(84) "ERROR! returned: Both $from and $to paths must be absolute when $strict is disabled!"

```
