Re: absolute path of any PHP script?

hm, I guess I didn't make myself clear: I need to know absolute translated path of any script it the script itself. (this ain't better...) let's suppose I have an NT box with docroot in c:/www, and c:/www/directory/ is available from web (aliased) as [www.domain.tld]/alias/ now, let's suppose there are two files in the directory: script.php <? include( 'include.inc' ) ?> include.inc <? echo $HTTP_SERVER_VARS['PHP_SELF'] ?> now, if I request www.domain.tld/alias/script.php, it'll output '/alias.script' while I need 'c:/www/directory/include.inc'.
