Description (last modified by )
As noted in ticket:23073:40, get_home_path()
doesn't return consistent slashes.
If home
and siteurl
are identical, it falls back to ABSPATH
:
C:\wamp\www\multitest/
If home
and siteurl
are different:
C:/wamp/www/wordpress/test_subd/

Could this have come from the various
define('ABSPATH', dirname(__FILE__).'/');
commands scaretted accross multiple files? I took the liberty of creating a diff.

Yes, the trailing slash in ABSPATH
is inconsistent in Windows, but it's out of scope for this ticket, and it's not really an issue, since Windows allows to use both types of slashes.
23175.3.patch would make the slashes inconsistent on non-Windows installs.

Well, it could be if you are doing path string comparisons. What if we used DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR
instead?
define('ABSPATH', dirname(__FILE__).DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR);
Would that address non-Windows OSs?
it's out of scope for this ticket
If you agree with the above, should I create a new ticket?
Thanks!

I'd suggest to normalize the slashes with str_replace( '\\', '/', ... )
before doing any string manipulations. This is what the core does in a few functions.
Using DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR
was previously discussed in #15598, #17494, #20849, and #22267. The consensus in each ticket was that it's not needed.
I've reviewed all the instances of
get_home_path()
in core to make sure both types of slashes are allowed there (since it currently returns both types anyway).It's mostly used in
file_exists()
andwin_is_writable()
checks, which is fine.
