Question

Let’s say I have a windows path name “E:\Dropbox\b\c\d”, when I want to change this path to UNIX with some modifications, I can use this python code.

x = "E:\\Dropbox\\b\\c\\d"
print "/Users/prosseek/" + '/'.join(x.split('\\')[1:])

>> /Users/prosseek/Dropbox/b/c/d

What could be the equivalent code in PHP?

Answer 1

Here you go. You could use explode and implode, but there’s no real reason to get fancy and use arrays when this is just a basic string operation:

$x = 'E:\Dropbox\b\c\d';
echo '/Users/prosseek/' . str_replace('\\', '/', substr($x, strpos($x, '\\') + 1));
