Logical Error in getFileAbsFileName()?
0%
Description
Looking for some other stuff i just figured out that the condition on line 3727 of the GeneralUtility.php in the 7.5.0 Typo3 release seems not logical to me.
Calling GeneralUtility::getFileAbsFileName() with $onlyRelative = TRUE should from my understanding set the $filename to an empty string if the path is an absolute path - this is what the comment proposes. However, only if self::isFirstPartOfStr($filename, $relPathPrefix) === TRUE this path is actually an absolute path in PATH_site.
Therefore, the negation seems to make the function misbehave regarding its documentation. Or am I wrong?

Hi Gregor,
I think you might mistake absolute path and absolute path within PATH_site.
Take a look at this:
$testPath1 = GeneralUtility::getFileAbsFileName('/var/www/cms7/icon.png');
$testPath2 = GeneralUtility::getFileAbsFileName('/var/www/cms7/icon.png', false);
$testPath3 = GeneralUtility::getFileAbsFileName('/var/www/cms7/Web/index.php');
$testPath1 and $testPath2 are both outside of PATH_site.
Thus $testPath1 returns an empty string, while $testPath2 returns the full path.
Did this clear things up a bit?

Thank you Matthias for clearing up.
I had actually just not read diligently enough. Thus, I hadn't considered the previous condition and had missed the condition checking for the absolute path.
Next time I will think once more before posting, sorry for occupying your time with this ;)
