Note Submitter: dfx at gmx dot at ---- As reply to evelk@dsv.nl and xcat@parks.lv... If you're running PHP as Apache module, you can use apache_lookup_uri() to translate virtual paths and filenames to real ones. For example... $obj = apache_lookup_uri("/~username"); Then $obj->filename gives you "/home/username/public_html", or whatever it is in your case. I'm not aware of similar function for non-Apache installs.
