[RESOLVED] Easy way to change path depending on OS?

[sidsel]

My development system is based on windows and my hosted website is on a linux machine.

Is there a way to change the path on the fly depending on the OS ? For now I have two paths and just comment the one out I don't need.

if ($_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] == 'localhost')
{
// stuff for local dev server
}
else
{
// stuff for live server
}

Another solution might be:

if (strtoupper(substr(PHP_OS, 0, 3)) === 'WIN') {
   echo 'This is a server using Windows!';
} else {
   echo 'This is a server not using Windows!';
}

What kind of paths are you talking about? Could you just use $SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] to get the base path to your public_html directory, and go from there? For example:

define('WWW', $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']);
$data = file(WWW . '/datafiles/example.txt');
