Not working on Windows machines with relative paths

[GoogleCodeExporter]

ON a windows machine you run into a security block on line 793:

    if(strpos($real, $this->docRoot) !== 0) ...

This is caused on the fact that realpath() returns the Windows-style path like. 
On a local XAMPP installation the values might look like this:

    $real = 'C:\\xampp\\htdocs\\image\\'
    $this->docRoot = 'C:/xampp/htdocs'

An easy fix is to use the realpath() function also on the $this->docRoot 
variable in the if-statement. So replacing this line with the following would 
resolve the issue:

    if(strpos($real, realpath($this->docRoot)) !== 0) ...

This would also not break the security check.

Please try the latest version. I've followed your suggestion but a little 
earlier in execution. Thanks for the bug and fix.

That's how I tried to solve the issue first. Although it does not work as your 
foreach loop in line 787 needs unix style path. If you convert your docRoot 
with the realpath the way you have done it, it will break the loop.

You can either used the fix I suggested or you always have to use the realpath 
function every time you handle file paths (which I wouldn't suggest).

OK try it now. Implemented your first idea and  yanked my last commit.

Please try the latest version. It has improved path searching and I've moved 
the realpath for docRoot to the top of file search to prevent repeated stat() 
calls.

Excuseme I have a trouble with the script, I get on my website the next message 
when a try to see the image route:

Warning: realpath() [function.realpath]: open_basedir restriction in effect. 
File(/usr/local/apache/htdocs) is not within the allowed path(s): 
(/home/:/usr/lib/php:/tmp) in 
/home/u775803560/public_html/wp-content/themes/Sosa-Blue/timthumb.php on line 
815

My version of the Thimthumb is the 2.8 not is 2.8.10, I try to change the 
version and the same error is happening but in another line, how I can deny the 
script try to acces to that route?

In the version 2.8 in that line say "See issue 224. Using realpath as a windows 
fix."
