URL path to a folder. Any workaround?

AlexP

I want to be able to point out the URL path to the folder of the currently executing script.

For example I am in the URL.

http://mysite/websites/microlabs/index.php?

When I execute the following line...


<?php 
print $HTTP_SERVER_VARS['HTTP_HOST'];    

?>

...I only get the following result:

mysite

what I want is the path to the folder of the currently executing script. In other words in my example above I want to get a result like...

http://mysite/websites/microlabs

and not only ....

mysite

Any workaround or command would greatly help me.

Thanks .

try with:

str_replace(strtoupper($_SERVER["PATH_INFO"]),"",strtoupper($_SERVER["PATH_TRANSLATED"]))

i use it to define an absolute include path so wherever in the tree structure of any website i can set an absolute link to the include path...

better ideas?

Thanks Morphy.

I get the error message...

Notice: Undefined index: PATH_INFO ......etc

PATH_INFO doesn't seem to work.

Any other suggestions??

Thank you.

check phpinfo() to see which $_SERVER var has the name of the script....
check the sintax of my code cause i took it from one of my scripts and maybe i forget some ; or " donno 🙂
understand the logic behind and customize it for yr purposes
those scripts run over a win2k/apache/php as apache mod so maybe if u use linux or another config u have to change some details...

Thanks Morphy but I have another method:

$urlroot = "http://". $HTTP_SERVER_VARS['HTTP_HOST']. $HTTP_SERVER_VARS['REQUEST_URI'];

//extract file from $urlroot 
$urlArr = pathinfo($urlroot);
$urlroot = $urlArr["dirname"]; 
//----

echo $urlroot;

I am sorry that nobody could answer to my post but at least I answered to my self. Probably others could benefit from this post in future search.
