[Resolved] Finding a files directory path

[futureshock]

I need to be able to determine a files directory path without the file name as $PHP_SELF does. I will be dynamicaly including a particular file with the same name orginal to each directory.

Is this possible. I am guessing it is an enviroment variable but I could not find it either here or php.com.

Thanks

I think there is a $SERVER superglobal that tells you the file path. Search for $SERVER at PHP.net.

Try dirname( $PHP_SELF );

Thanks HalfaBee, yes the dirname($PHP_SELF) worked perfectly.

PHPGuru2, thanks for pointing out that $_SERVER variable, it has loads of good stuff packed in it too.

Again the PHP community pulls through..WOOT!
