the magic constant __FILE__ will give you the absolut filesystem location of the file it is called. Eg: /home/www/tests/foo.php -> <?php echo __FILE__ ; ?> will print: '/home/www/tests/foo.php'; to retrieve the path only you could do: /home/www/tests/foo.php -> <?php echo str_replace( basename ( __FILE__ ) , '' , __FILE__ ); ?> I think could be easier with dirname(__FILE__)
