On unix there is one root "/" under which all files reside. The situation on windows is more complicated; there are several "drives" (Harddisks, floppies, cd, dvd and mounted network drives with names like "a:\" or "c:\") under which the files may be located. PHP lacks a function similar to the Java "getRoots()" function, and this package provides the necessary functions to implement such a one. It may be helpful for Gtk applications for file selection dialogs as well. The package is *not* meant to provide a list with al CD/DVD drives or usb sticks - just possbile "roots" on Windows operating systems. The class utilized the php_w32api.dll (php4) or php_ffi.dll (php5). If the dll is not available, there is a "guess" mode which tries to brute-force discover the drives by checking if the directory exists. |
