Notes

On Windows systems, replaces backslashes with forward slashes and forces upper-case drive letters. Allows for two leading slashes for Windows network shares, but ensures that all other duplicate slashes are reduced to a single one. Ensures upper-case drive letters on Windows systems. Allows for PHP file wrappers.
