# Deprecation: #95367 - GeneralUtility::isAbsPath() {#deprecation-95367}

See [forge#95367](https://forge.typo3.org/issues/95367)

## Description {#description}

The low-level TYPO3 API method
`\TYPO3\CMS\Core\Utility\GeneralUtility::isAbsPath()`
has been marked as deprecated.

## Impact {#impact}

Calling the method in your own PHP code will trigger a PHP `E_USER_DEPRECATED` error.

## Affected Installations {#affected-installations}

TYPO3 installations with custom extensions calling this PHP
method are affected. You can check if you are affected via the Extension
Scanner tool provided in the Install Tool.

## Migration {#migration}

Replace any calls to `GeneralUtility::isAbsPath()` with
the exact equivalent `\TYPO3\CMS\Core\Utility\PathUtility::isAbsolutePath()`
which checks for the same input.
