In any case the finished product will use tokens instead of filenames. While I am working out the bugs it is easier to use filenames. I use an incremental approach to programming (and have used that approach ever since I moved from batch programming to time-shared terminals over 40 years ago).Plus - easy way to specify a path outside of your webroot:That is precisely what I indicated that I was doing, using &_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"], and then using truncation and concatenation.
