Methods summary

`public static string`	# `get_current_url( )` Constructs the full URL with query string - oddly, there is not a single PHP $_SERVER value already.

From: http://www.geekality.net/2011/05/12/php-dealing-with-absolute-and-relative-urls/ Parameters `$url` `string` $url The relative URL to convert `$base` `string` $base The URL that the relative URL resides, directories must end with a front-slash Returns `string` The converted absolute URL
`public static string`	# `change_extension( string $file_path, string $new_extension )` Changes the extension of a file. Changes the extension of a file.

`public static array`	# `get_files( string $folder, string $pattern = '/.*/', boolean $include_subdirectories = false )` Returns an array of files found under a specific directory. Returns an array of files found under a specific directory. Parameters `$folder` `string` $folder The directory path to search for files `$pattern` `string` $pattern A regex pattern to be used to filter in results (take care that this could match the whole path) `$include_subdirectories` `boolean` $include_subdirectories Set to 'true' if all subfolder should be searched; set to 'false' if just the top-level Returns `array` The list of fule filepaths that met the criteria
`public static string`	# `force_forward_slashes( string $path )` Changes all occurences of backslashes to forward slashes - can come in handy when working with a windows path that needs to look like a nix path instead.

Parameters `$path` `string` $path The path to change Returns `string` The path with forward slashes
`public static string`	# `get_ski_directory_uri( )` Trying to figure out the ski.web directory for both local and remote versions has become ridiculous. As a result, it is a requirement for installation that the programmer define the SKI_URI. Should be something like 'http://localhost/mysite' instead of 'e:\wamp\www\mysite'.
