Ausgezeichnet! Danke sehr. Sie lösten meine zweite Echoaussage Störung. Sie sind sehr nützlich gewesen. Jedoch arbeitet mein erstes Problem noch nicht. $result = getenv($_ENV['DOCUMENT_ROOT' ]); kann jeden möglichen Ausgang produzieren, wenn nicht ich versuche widerzuhallen $result. The above was AltaVista.com's babelfish translation. Please excuse if it is not helpful. The German is a little bit strange.

BTW: 'Sie sind sehr nützlich gewesen.' has a bad annotation Correct would have been 'Sie sind sehr hilfreich gewesen.'. Since I know about the limitation of babelfish I don't mind, but others could feel being offended ( I hope this correct english).

In English, I thank you for correcting one of my problems. However, the attempt to evaluate the superglobal, $_ENV['DOCUMENT_ROOT'], seems not to put anything into the variable, $result. No output results from the "echo $result" statement. Could you educate me concerning the proper use of the superglobals? Thank you very much, Doug $_ENV['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] is false, you must use $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] .

You cann see this yourself, if you look at the output of phpinfo(). So the correct line would be : $result = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT' ]; You mustn't use getenv() for the values of $_ENV . Hendrik
