/* PATHS & FILES - ROUTINES */

/**
 * Returns a path to a certain resource within the Chamilo area, specifyed through a parameter.
 * Also, this function provides conversion between path types, in this case the input path points inside the Chamilo area too.
 *
 * See $_configuration['course_folder'] in the configuration.php to alter the WEB_COURSE_PATH and SYS_COURSE_PATH parameters.
 * @param string $type              The requested path type (a defined constant), see the examples.
 * @param string $path (optional)   A path which type is to be converted. Also, it may be a defined constant for a path.
 * This parameter has meaning when $type parameter has one of the following values: TO_WEB, TO_SYS, TO_REL. Otherwise it is ignored.
 * @return string                   The requested path or the converted path.
 *
 * A terminology note:
 * The defined constants used by this function contain the abbreviations WEB, REL, SYS with the following meaning for types:
 * WEB - an absolute URL (we often call it web-path),
 * example: http://www.mychamilo.org/chamilo/courses/COURSE01/document/lesson01.html;
 *
 * REL - represents a semi-absolute URL - a web-path, which is relative to the root web-path of the server, without server's base,
 * example: /chamilo/courses/COURSE01/document/lesson01.html;
 *
 * SYS - represents an absolute path inside the scope of server's file system,
 * /var/www/chamilo/courses/COURSE01/document/lesson01.html or
 * C:/Inetpub/wwwroot/chamilo/courses/COURSE01/document/lesson01.html.
 *
 * In some abstract sense we can consider these three path types as absolute.
 *
 * Notes about the current behaviour model:
 * 1. Windows back-slashes are converted to slashes in the result.
 * 2. A semi-absolute web-path is detected by its leading slash. On Linux systems, absolute system paths start with
 * a slash too, so an additional check about presense of leading system server base is implemented. For example, the function is
 * able to distinguish type difference between /var/www/chamilo/courses/ (SYS) and /chamilo/courses/ (REL).
 * 3. The function api_get_path() returns only these three types of paths, which in some sense are absolute. The function has
 * no a mechanism for processing relative web/system paths, such as: lesson01.html, ./lesson01.html, ../css/my_styles.css.
 * It has not been identified as needed yet.
 * 4. Also, resolving the meta-symbols "." and ".." withiin paths has not been implemented, it is to be identified as needed.
 *
 * Example:
 * Assume that your server root is /var/www/ , Chamilo is installed in a subfolder chamilo/ and the URL of your campus is http://www.mychamilo.org
 * The other configuration paramaters have not been changed.
 *
 * This is how we can retireve mosth used paths, for common purpose:

 * api_get_path(REL_PATH)                       /chamilo/
 * api_get_path(REL_COURSE_PATH)                /chamilo/courses/
 * api_get_path(REL_CODE_PATH)                  /chamilo/main/
 * api_get_path(SYS_SERVER_ROOT_PATH)           /var/www/ - This is the physical folder where the system Chamilo has been placed. It is not always equal to $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].
 * api_get_path(SYS_PATH)                       /var/www/chamilo/
 * api_get_path(SYS_ARCHIVE_PATH)               /var/www/chamilo/archive/

 * api_get_path(TO_REL, SCRIPT_ASCIIMATHML)     /chamilo/main/inc/lib/asciimath/ASCIIMathML.js
 * ...
 *
 * We can convert arbitrary paths, that are not registered (no defined constant).
 * For guaranteed result, these paths should point inside the system Chamilo.
 * Some random examples:
 * api_get_path(TO_WEB, $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'])
 * api_get_path(TO_SYS, $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'])
 * api_get_path(TO_REL, __FILE__)

/**
 * Parse info file format. (e.g: file.info)
 *
 * Files should use an ini-like format to specify values.
 * White-space generally doesn't matter, except inside values.
 * e.g.
 *
 * @verbatim
 *   key = value
 *   key = "value"
 *   key = 'value'
 *   key = "multi-line
 *
 *   value"
 *   key = 'multi-line
 *
 *   value'
 *   key
 *   =
 *   'value'
 * @endverbatim
 *
 * Arrays are created using a GET-like syntax:
 *
 * @verbatim
 *   key[] = "numeric array"
 *   key[index] = "associative array"
 *   key[index][] = "nested numeric array"
 *   key[index][index] = "nested associative array"
 * @endverbatim
 *
 * PHP constants are substituted in, but only when used as the entire value:
 *
 * Comments should start with a semi-colon at the beginning of a line.
 *
 * This function is NOT for placing arbitrary module-specific settings. Use
 * variable_get() and variable_set() for that.
 *
 * Information stored in the module.info file:
 * - name: The real name of the module for display purposes.
 * - description: A brief description of the module.
 * - dependencies: An array of shortnames of other modules this module depends on.
 * - package: The name of the package of modules this module belongs to.
 *
 * Example of .info file:
 * <code>
 * @verbatim
 *   name = Forum
 *   description = Enables threaded discussions about general topics.
 *   dependencies[] = taxonomy
 *   dependencies[] = comment
 *   package = Core - optional
 *   version = VERSION
 * @endverbatim
 * </code>
