What is the point of figuring that out? If we knew that, we might be able to help you with a solution. As it stands what you want is not possible AFAIK.

you know wrong. he has all the info needed. 1. the document root of the site (/var/www/example.com)

2. the requested URL	         (http://www.example.com/foo/bar)

extract the path from the URL and stick into to the document root, problem sorted. No? do this: var_dump($_SERVER, $_REQUEST); read the output it contains, it should have everything you need although you will have to do some munging. for more esoteric setups you will have to test the code for completeness and possible expand it's capability to be able to tackle those situations. take it a step at a time. me thinks I made it sound more complicated than it is for most scenarios ... reading your last post it seems the answer is (for now) quite straight forward.

I am within a certain directory of the server via the browser. Example: http://www.example.com/foo/bar would be /var/www/example.com/foo/bar And Apache's DirectoryIndex feature is opening a index.php file that is located at /var/www/example.com/test/index.php And from that file i need to figure out the full local path of /foo/bar (which would be /var/www/example.com/foo/bar ) or any other directory i browse too.
