Re: absolute path of any PHP script?

well, obviously I should have RTFM more carefully: http://docs.cn.cz/php/function.realpath.html realpath() expands all symbolic links and resolves references to '/./', '/../' and extra '/' characters in the input path and return the canonicalized absolute pathname. The resulting path will have no symbolic link, '/./' or '/../' components.
