Is this something unique to mediawiki or is it a "feature" of PHP?
All "path" variables are paths, that is, web-facing paths; all "directory" variables are filesystem paths. For example, $wgUploadPath vs. $wgUploadDirectory. The exception to this rule is $IP, which is a filesystem path.
This *should* be documented in LocalSettings.php or includes/DefaultSettings.php.
