New Comment:
"realpath() expands all symbolic links and resolves references to
'/./', '/../' and extra '/' characters in the input path . and return
the canonicalized absolute pathname. "
And since it first resolves to /home/user/test/something/tests from
where you go down 3 levels, of course you get /home/user/ ?
See this:
# php -r 'echo realpath("/home/jani/test/app/lib/symlink/tests/"),
"\n";'
/home/jani/test/something/tests
# php -r 'echo
realpath("/home/jani/test/app/lib/symlink/tests/../../.."), "\n";'
/home/jani
