Getting path and changing it into a http url.

[Residue]

I checked this out at php.net and I found this snippet that does exactly what I need it to do, except it includes the name of the file (the php file that the script is in) with the path. So it would show.

path/to/my/site/geturl.php

When I only want it to show

path/to/my/site/

this is the code:

$me = $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];
$Apathweb = explode("/", $me);
$myFileName = $spliter[0]"."zip;
$pathweb = implode("/", $Apathweb);
$myURL = "http://".$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'].$pathweb."/".$myFileName;
$PAGE_BASE['www'] = $myURL;


strstr( PHP_OS, "WIN") ? $strPathSeparator = "\\" : $strPathSeparator = "/";
$pathfile = getcwd ();
$PAGE_BASE['physical'] = $pathfile.$strPathSeparator.$myFileName;

$www = $PAGE_BASE['www'];
$physical = $PAGE_BASE['physical'];

I'm using it for that automated download script that I posted about yesterday, hopefully with this i'll be able to give a full url for it.

Anyways I've tried alot of things and I'm not so sure how to change it without getting it to not work in the proccess...so any help would be much appreciated.

Looks like you could just get rid of that $myFileName wherever it shows up and that should work.

Nah...I've set that to the filename that I actually want to include, it does its job.

The problem is with php_self, is there another variable I can use that doesn't call the filename but gets the root?

Yes; you could use $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']. If that were in say http://www.domain.com/index.php, it would echo http://www.domain.com/
