Given Specific Path: Determine Short or Long path equivalent

[jeff00seattle]

Is there a way to determine if given a specific (file or directory) path, what its long or short path equivalent?

I am writing some PHP code, and I need a way to execute a command (within Windows environment) whereby when given a (file or directory) path it will always return its equivalent long path.

Thanks

Hi Jeff, you could post an example of the path you start with and what you would like it to be converted to. May be then I or someone else can help you.
