Not even a little bit. The OP needs the directory the symlink lives in, not the one it points to. As your snippet of the manual says realpath expands all symbolic links which means it will give the full path to the directory the symlink points to. Not what's needed. After you've admitted to not reading the question you might find it beneficial to go back and do that before arguing that your suggestion will work. -Stut -- http://stut.net/problem...Haven't read the entire thread, but you might also look at http://php.net/manual/en/function.realpath.phprealpath() won't help since it will just controbute the samespecifically he'll get the path were the page really exists instead of the sym'd path which is what he wants.From www.php.net/realpath : realpath() expands all symbolic links and resolves references to '/./', '/../' and extra '/' characters in the input path . and return the canonicalized absolute pathname. Sounds like it'll work.
