Simple Directory Problem

[SOL-ion]

Hi all,

I have forgotten how tell a script include from rootdirector/whatever for a script in any directory. Before that I was using ../whatever but this breaks when I am in the root directory.

Can anyone remind me how to do this.

Are you looking for $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] ??

That seems to have fixed it - Thanks

Ah sorry, it worked for the inclusion of files - but not when using it for links. Obviously as it gives the full file root. Any other ideas?

An equivalent for URL's might be

"http://".$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME']."/";

Thanks for all your help. I have realised that I need 2 kinds of path for my application, one for the url and one for the document. This was a problem I did not expect.
