Changing path information with PHP

Let's say I have a windows path name "E:\Dropbox\b\c\d", when I want to change this path to UNIX with some modifications, I can use this python code.

x = "E:\\Dropbox\\b\\c\\d"
print "/Users/prosseek/" + '/'.join(x.split('\\')[1:])

>> /Users/prosseek/Dropbox/b/c/d

What could be the equivalent code in PHP?

A pretty much exact equivalent of that Python code would be:

$x = 'E:\\Dropbox\\b\\c\\d';
echo "/Users/prosseek" . implode('/', explode('\\', substr($x, 2)));

If you're looking for the exact PHP equivalent:

$x = 'E:\Dropbox\b\c\d';

$parts = explode('\\', $x);

array_shift($parts);

print "/Users/prosseek/" . implode('/', $parts);

However, this does not create the output you wanted. Demo.

Here you go. You could use explode and implode, but there's no real reason to get fancy and use arrays when this is just a basic string operation:

$x = 'E:\Dropbox\b\c\d';
echo '/Users/prosseek/' . str_replace('\\', '/', substr($x, strpos($x, '\\') + 1));

$str = "E:\Dropbox\b\c\d";
$unix = str_replace('E:', '/Users/prosseek', $str);
$unix = str_replace('\\', '/', $unix);
