Pathtastic
==========

[](#pathtastic)

Pathtastic PHP provides a way to verify that a specified target directory or file is contained within a subpath of a specified required parent directory.

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

I haven't test it but you should only need PHP 4.0.0 or above to run pathtastic. If you want to run the PHPUnit tests then it [requires PHP 7.1 or newer](https://phpunit.de/announcements/phpunit-7.html).

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

You can install Pathtastic with composer using the following command

```
composer require bitquick/pathtastic

```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Check whether a **target** file or directory is within a subpath of a **required** directory.

```
use Bitquick\Pathtastic\Pathtastic;

if ( Pathtastic::verifyPath($targetPath, $requiredPath) ) {
    // target path is within required path
} else {
    // target path exists outside of required path.
}

```
