note 115307 added to function.dirname

dirname can be used to create self referencing web scripts with the following one liner. <?php $base_url = str_replace($DOCUMENT_ROOT, "", dirname($PHP_SELF)); ?> Using this method on a file such as: /home/mysite/public_html/wherever/whatever.php will return: /wherever Now $base_url can be used in your HTML to reference other scripts in the same directory. Example for http://coralclub24.com/ href='<?=$base_url?>/myscript.php' ---- Server IP: 72.52.91.14 Probable Submitter: 46.250.22.71 ---- Manual Page -- http://php.net/manual/en/function.dirname.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/115307 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/115307/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/115307/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/115307/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/115307/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/115307/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/115307/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/115307 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/115307 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
