access absolute path? home/domain/

[Shawazi]

I took down my other post to make this one easier to read.

A page is kept at domain.com/net/page.php

But we know from error messages it is in
/home/domain/public_html/net/page.php because that's how the server reads it. Is there a way to use that path when coding? I would need to use it for my copy path.

copy($file, "/home/domain/public_html/users/pics/");

Something like that. I can't do "../users/pics/" because this page is read as domain.net even tho it is housed on domain.com/net/

Please someone tell me there is a way to use the absolute path!

Yes, you can use absolute paths.

Note that copy() takes two full filepaths, example:
copy ("/path/to/file.php", "/path/to/new/file.php.newfile");

Absolute paths use / on *nix systems, C:\ or whatever on Windows.
