Yes, it fixes that issue. I believe this is due to URIs involving relative
paths not always being supported, depending on the interpreter (which may
explain why some people observe this behavior and others do not). You can
take a look at this[1] Stack Overflow response for further explanation. The
realpath() call fixes this, since it will generate an absolute pathname,
expanding all symlinks or relative portions of the path. The stat call is
used to determine if something is a file in the case that no URI scheme is
provided. Note that as I mentioned previously, if no scheme is provided, it
checks for the existence of a file with the given name prior to treating it
as a URL, but this can always be overridden by specifying a proper scheme.

Morgan
