Hello Richard, Friday, March 4, 2005, 1:25:35 PM, you wrote: R> If *those* are broken, you might as well just not use that host. R> :-^ Your solution seems to be pretty bulletproof. I definitely appreciate it. Just wondering though for posterity sake, have you or anyone ever run into a host that had both $_SERVER['path_translated'] and $_SERVER{'documentRoot'] broke? I've seen $_SERVER{'documentRoot'] not being correct, but has anyone seen it not correct and not having $_SERVER['path_translated'] available? Previously, when I saw $_SERVER['documentroot'] incorrect, I didn't know about $_SERVER['path_translated'] so I don't know if it was good or not.

Maybe one day the people at PHP will fix it so we don't have to work around it. -- Leif (TB lists moderator and fellow end user).
