Hi - I want to be able to reference my web root (which, in ASP, i was able to do simply by starting a path with forward slash). In PHP, of course, the ASP way would reference the user's root folder - not what i want. I tried using $DOCUMENT_ROOT, but it hasn't always worked in every environment. Anybody know what would work? I'm building a set of files that can be included on any page, but those files need to have references to other include files (like db.inc, functions.inc, etc). If someone uses the first set of files 5 directories up from the root web, i don't know how to determine that db.inc is 5 directories down from there, etc...
