Adding BS to paths

[ImOk]

I need to add a filename to a path under Windows. Sometimes the path
may have the "\" sometimes not. Is there some function that checks if
the path does not end in "\" to add it or some quick way of doing this?

E.g. addBs($path) . $filename;

The most efficient way I could think of is

rtim($path,"\\" ) . "\\" . $filename;

Thanks.

Hi,

This is very basic.
Just check if the last character is a \.
if not: add it.

Or alternatively, you can use rtrim indeed as you did.

What do you mean by efficient?
Is your webserver crashing under the load of this
end-of-string-manipulation?
;-)

Is something isn't broken, don't fix it.
Your solution is just fine.
