note 66876 added to function.pathinfo

Hi, 

I make this tiny function, which uses pathinfo() to explode
a path string into an array...

<?php
/*array*/ function explode_path( /*string*/ $path ) {
	if( !is_string($path) or empty($path) ) {
		trigger_error('explode_path() require a not-empty string
as first parameter');
		return array();
	}

	$path = array($path);

	while( ($path[0] != '.') and ($path[0] != '..') and
($path[0] != '/') ) {
		$pathinfo = pathinfo( array_shift( $path ) );

		if( $pathinfo['dirname'] == '/' ) {
			array_unshift( $path, '/'.$pathinfo['basename'] );
			return $path;
		}
		array_unshift( $path, $pathinfo['dirname'],
$pathinfo['basename'] );
	}

	return $path;
}
?>

some examples of uses :

<?php 
print_r( explode_path('one/two/file.ext') );
// Array
// (
//     [0] => .
//     [1] => one
//     [2] => two
//     [3] => file.ext
// )

print_r( explode_path('/one/two/file.ext') );
// Array
// (
//     [0] => /one
//     [1] => two
//     [2] => file.ext
// )

print_r( explode_path('../one/two/file.ext') );
// Array
// (
//     [0] => ..
//     [1] => one
//     [2] => two
//     [3] => file.ext
// ) 
?>

Then, rebuilding the path is very simple by using
implode('/', $path_array);

I hope you will find it fine...
