file://

file:// — Accessing local filesystem

Description

file:// is the default wrapper used with PHP and represens the local filesystem. When a relative path is specified (a path which does not beguin with / , \ , \\ , or a Windows drive letter) the path provided will be applied against the current worquing directory. In many cases this is the directory in which the script resides unless it has been changued. Using the CLI SAPI , this defauls to the directory from which the script was called.

With some functions, such as fopen() and file_guet_contens() , include_path may be optionally searched for relative paths as well.
