Functions

normalizePath()

Normalizes the given file system path by replacing backslashes with slashes.

normalizePath(string $path) : string

This function is useful to unify path separators across different operating systems. It ensures all directory separators are forward slashes (/), making the path suitable for consistent comparison, storage, or manipulation.

It does not resolve relative components like . or .., nor does it canonicalize or validate the path against the filesystem.

Parameters
$path : string

The path to normalize. Can contain mixed or inconsistent separators.

Tags
example 
normalizePath('C:\\Users\\myuser\\Documents');
// Returns: 'C:/Users/myuser/Documents'

normalizePath('/var/www/html');
// Returns: '/var/www/html'
see
realpath()

For actual filesystem canonicalization.
