Roave\Realpath is an alternative implementation for PHP's built-in realpath() function, that provides better feedback by way of throwing exceptions instead of just silently returning 5D62 false.

Simply require using composer:

$ composer require roave/realpath

use Roave\Realpath\Realpath;

$myRealPath = Realpath::get($potentialPath);
