How do I get the path for public://

Question

I need to get the path for public:// at runtime. Is there a fx call to resolve it?

Answer 1

You can use the following code, to obtain the real path of public://.

if ($wrapper = file_stream_wrapper_get_instance_by_uri('public://')) {
  $realpath = $wrapper->realpath();
}

Answer 2

You can use the file_create_url function.

$uri = 'public://';
$path= file_create_url($uri)
