Description:
------------
<?php
	echo realpath( './' ) ;
?>

This code in PHP 5.2.4 gives an output with trailing slash (example: C:\www\)
PHP 5.2.3 not (example: C:\www).

Who is right? Tested on WinXP.

Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not
a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at
http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report
a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php

Does it really make sense that this function behaves so inconsistently about its 
trailing slashes between Linux and Win?:

LINUX (tested with PHP 5.2.11):
---
realpath('.')
: string = "/myhttpdfolder" 
realpath('./')
: string = "/myhttpdfolder" 
realpath('fileadmin')
: string = "/myhttpdfolder/fileadmin" 
realpath('fileadmin/')
: string = "/myhttpdfolder/fileadmin" 

WINDOWS (tested with PHP 5.2.5):
---
realpath('.')
: string = "C:\\myhttpdfolder" 
realpath('./')
: string = "C:\\myhttpdfolder\\" 
realpath('fileadmin')
: string = "C:\\myhttpdfolder\\fileadmin" 
realpath('fileadmin/')
: string = "C:\\myhttpdfolder\\fileadmin\\"

The fact that this function does not have a consistent result means that we will have to rewrite it (in php). Wouldn't it be a lot better to make sure the behaviour of the function (yes or no trailing slash) is a fact instead of an unknown?
