php resole relative to absolute

[ahmed786]

Hello ,

I am a new in PHP.I have a task to resolve realtive path to absolute path.
for example :
../default/test.png -> /image/default/test.png
I have done it with string replace function.but,th is is not the solution.I need to resolve the relative path with base path such as
/home/domainusers/workspace/picfinder/image/default/test.png.

It's also possible the relative path would be like this "test.png". I have to resolve this also with the absolute path.
/home/domainusers/workspace/picfinder/image/test.png.

I have tried with so many function which are availaible on the Google:-).Still,I am not getting the certain result.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks In Advance :-)

check out realpath().
