        You just put that code in your file

        
$pathToThisfile = dirname(__FILE__) ;

// if this code is in a file in this path /home/some/path/site/myfile.php
// then....

echo $pathToThisFile ;

// the above will echo /home/some/path/site/

        So if you ever need to find out the path to your project, just use dirname(FILE) to get it.
