Is fullPath == absolutePath?

Hi!

fileName = somefile.php (is defined by Robert)

possiblitis for "path + fileName"
- file (if you open a file you have a filePointer, fileContent, ...)
- file[Absolute]Source
- fileNameWith[Absolute]Path

I would prefer the first one because it's short. If you work with files, 
you will properly need "path + fileName" more often than "fileName".
