Coding Help with Variable

[hroberts89436]

I have this coding that goes as follows

//misc variables needed to complete process
$path = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'\'.$text[originalpath].'\';
$filename = $path.$mediakey;

I keep getting an error on the second line, what is the correct way to do this. I want it to look like this:
"\www\hroberts*original path*\" and then the next line adds the rest of it, but at this time, I can't get it to add the backslashes properly.

Thanks

Try using forward slashes instead - backslashes aren't used as path separators (except on OS's like Windows, but even then you can still use forward slashes).

EDIT: Also, there is the PATH_SEPARATOR PHP constant you can use instead.
