System_WinDrives::isApiAvailable()

System_WinDrives::isApiAvailable() -- Checks if the API is available

Synopsis

require_once 'System/WinDrives.php';

boolean System_WinDrives::isApiAvailable (void)

Description

Checks if the API methods to read the drive list are available, and returns that.

They may not be available if the necessary extensions (win32api on PHP4, php_ffi on PHP5) are not installed on the system.

If the API is not available, the drive list is brute-force guessed. Drive types are not available in that case.

Return value

boolean - true if they are there, false if not.
