> how do I give something the filepath of a folder that proceeded it? Not sure exactly what you mean here but consider getcwd() http://www.php.net/manual/function.getcwd.php This "gets the current working directory" and may help your quest. If you want something else, load up phpinfo() and have a look at the available 'predefined variables' on server, there are many. http://www.php.net/manual/language.variables.predefined.php ANd if it needs to be taken apart, explode() it. Oh, there is another function that may actually be what you want, it is called dirname : http://php.net/manual/function.dirname.php Maybe if you stick getcwd in it it'll provide desired results. So many options, so little time, so many words, so unsure what you're wanting :-) Look around here : http://php.net/manual/ref.filesystem.php Sorry this post is getting HUGE. Good luck! Philip be outside the box.
