Windows path issue - upload_preferences about ee-master-config HOT 4 CLOSED

I don't understand the problem. Can't you just write out the path correctly with back slashes?

from ee-master-config.

I was thinking I needed to write the whole path with backslashes though, looks like this will in fact work:

    $env_config['upload_preferences'] = array(
        1 => array(
             'name'        => 'Uploads',
             'server_path' => $images_path . '\uploads',
             'url'         => $images_url  . '/uploads/'
        )
    );

which returns:

C:/wamp/www/mysite/public_html/images\uploads

Do you know if the backslash will also work on Unix based file systems? I'm going to test it though, maybe you know from memory.

Thanks

I'm not sure. I haven't had to deal with *nix/Windows path differences in EE (ever). If you find out something concrete let me know though :)

Erik this is what I came up with and seems to be working though, I'm not sure if this is the best way to approch:

    $slash_type = (strtoupper(substr(PHP_OS, 0, 3)) === 'WIN') ? '\\' : '/';    
    $env_config['upload_preferences'] = array(
        1 => array(
             'name'        => 'Page Uploads',
             'server_path' => $images_path . $slash_type.'uploads'.$slash_type.'page/',
             'url'         => $images_url  . '/uploads/page/'
        )
    );
