The `isAbsolutePath()` method used array notation to access string characters. Passing an empty string to it, would therefore generate an undefined offset error. Moreover, passing an array that had a slash or backslash in its first element would incorrectly pass as well, e.g. `array('/', 'what', 'ever')`.

Using a simple regular expression here seems like the way to go. It is shorter and easier to read.
