Home directory on Win2000

[mcrbids]

In Unix the home directory can be referenced with a "~" as in "~/data" might refer to /home/user/data.

How do you get this in windows?

What I'm looking for is something like...

<?
$WinHomeDir=array('2000', 'XP', 'NT');
if (in_array($OS, $WinHomeDir))
{
$homedir="~";
$datadir=$homedir."/datadir";
}
?>

home directory for windows is just a / isnt it...

or 2 dots ".."

sorry not sure what your asking?

Im pretty sure depending if your in another folder to just do this
./../

Go to command line, and type "set". There you'll see the environment variables (i.e. they will be defined in PHP's $_ENV). On Win2K, there's an env var called USERPROFILE that has the home directory...I don't know if it's the same on Win98 and others.
