Dear Rob:

I think your answer isn't I need,I give a example for my problem:

At my webserver,

http://testweb/report is at my server physical path is : /usr/local/apahche/myhtml

my question is :
if I don't know the server physical path,
I only know the web path , and how to get it physical path at server. I only need the functoin such as IIS "server.mapth" at php

Thanks !

Sorry I don't work with IIS (life is too short) so I don't know exactly how that function works.

But you can get the physical location of the file using the variables:

$PHP_SELF - the location of the script under the document root.

$HTTP_SERVER_VARS["DOCUMENT_ROOT"] - the physical location of the document root directory.

$HTTP_SERVER_VARS["SCRIPT_FILENAME"] - this is the above two variables combined into one.

try this
<?
echo $PATH_TRANSLATED;
?>
