Re: absolute path of any PHP script?

Richard, I wish it was that easy. test.php: <? include( './include.inc' ) ; ?> iclude.inc: <? echo $HTTP_SERVER_VARS['PHP_SELF'] ?> output: /path/to/test.php ^^^^^^^^ echo __FILE__ would output './include.inc', while I need '/path/to/include.inc'... I _have_ spent some cycles on this, and, while it might sound funny, am glad I'm not the only one who doesn't know it. :) At 04:54 6.1. 2001, Richard Lynch wrote the following: -------------------------------------------------------------- >$PHP_SELF, I think... > >Put <?php phpinfo();?> in foo and then in bar and see what's available. > > > >----- Original Message ----- >From: Cynic <cynic@mail.cz> >Newsgroups: php.general >Sent: Friday, January 05, 2001 8:18 AM >Subject: [PHP] absolute path of any PHP script? > > >> how do I get the absolute path to any PHP script currently >> being executed? >> __FILE__ does not help here, because if I have >> require( '../bar.php' ) ; >> in foo.php, __FILE__ in foo.php will contain e. g. >> 'c:/wwwroot/aaa/bbb/foo.php' (on windows), but in bar.php it >> will contain '../bar.php' (e. g. the argument passed to >> require()). >> I know I could write a function to do this, but surely >> there must be an easier way I just missed. >> >> TIA >> >> ____________________________________________________________ >> Cynic: >> >> A member of a group of ancient Greek philosophers who taught >> that virtue constitutes happiness and that self control is >> the essential part of virtue. >> >> cynic@mail.cz >> >> >> >> -- >> PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) >> To unsubscribe, e-mail: php-general-unsubscribe@lists.php.net >> For additional commands, e-mail: php-general-help@lists.php.net >> To contact the list administrators, e-mail: php-list-admin@lists.php.net >> > > >-- >PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) >To unsubscribe, e-mail: php-general-unsubscribe@lists.php.net >For additional commands, e-mail: php-general-help@lists.php.net >To contact the list administrators, e-mail: php-list-admin@lists.php.net ------end of quote------ ____________________________________________________________ Cynic: A member of a group of ancient Greek philosophers who taught that virtue constitutes happiness and that self control is the essential part of virtue. cynic@mail.cz
