What you probably need to do to go 'up' a directory is something like this: $dir = dir($_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME']); Then take off the last directory. Then either stay there or append another directory name to it. Try using strrchr(). Or there is probably a class somewhere to break a path into all its parts. -- Rob > > I'm running PHP 4.3.2 with Apache 2 on WinXP box. > > Thanks, > Allex -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
