Pathtastic PHP provides a way to verify that a specified target directory or file is contained within a subpath of a specified required parent directory.

Requirements

I haven't test it but you should only need PHP 4.0.0 or above to run pathtastic. If you want to run the PHPUnit tests then it requires PHP 7.1 or newer.

Installation

You can install Pathtastic with composer using the following command

composer require bitquick/pathtastic

Usage

Check whether a target file or directory is within a subpath of a required directory.

use Bitquick\Pathtastic\Pathtastic;

if ( Pathtastic::verifyPath($targetPath, $requiredPath) ) {
    // target path is within required path
} else {
    // target path exists outside of required path.
}
