Browse button in the object properties doesn't return correct path

I first copied the "data" directory to "data2" directory with all the
corresponding files.

I then opened the "tutorial.map", select the map object into the object browser
view.  Into the object properties view, I selected the "ShapePath" parameter,
click on the browse button.  The shape path is updated to:

"../../../../../../../../../..//tutorial/data2",

which is not correct.  The errors is recorded into the PHP errors log file (see
below).  MapLab hang trying to load the data and display the following message:

"Loading image...please wait".

The abs2rel function in browser.php needs to be fixed.

The workaround is to manually edit the returned path in the text input field.
