note 100881 added to reserved.variables.server

A way to get the absolute path of your page, independent from the site position (so works both on local machine and on server without setting anything) and from the server OS (works both on Unix systems and Windows systems). The only parameter it requires is the folder in which you place this script So, for istance, I'll place this into my SCRIPT folder, and I'll write SCRIPT word length in $conflen <?php $conflen=strlen('SCRIPT'); $B=substr(__FILE__,0,strrpos(__FILE__,'/')); $A=substr($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'], strrpos($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'], $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'])); $C=substr($B,strlen($A)); $posconf=strlen($C)-$conflen-1; $D=substr($C,1,$posconf); $host='http://'.$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'].'/'.$D; ?> $host will finally contain the absolute path. ---- Server IP: 69.147.83.197 Probable Submitter: 93.37.20.46 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/reserved.variables.server.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/100881 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/100881/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/100881/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/100881/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/100881/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/100881/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/100881/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/100881 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/100881 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
