I thought this function would work with paths relative to the webroot. Thanks for pointing out my mistake. Does such a function exist? The problem I have is that this path is set in the config section of a 3rd party tool I'm using, and called from various pages within the site. I don't want to hack the code, as that will make upgrades more difficult to apply. Hard-coding the path from c: won't work well either, as that path is different in the development and live environments.
