hi,

I have this structure:
/home/lamp/mydomain/html
/home/lamp/mydomain/logs
/home/lamp/mydomain/config
etc.

html directory is the only one accessible from outside.

to access config file I can use this:
required_once('/home/lamp/mydomain/config');

but this is the structure on my local/development machine. once the site
is done it will be moved to "production" server and the structure will be
/srv/www/mydomain/html
/srv/www/mydomain/logs
/srv/www/mydomain/config
etc.

to "automate" the document_root I define on the begining of the page

define('HTML_PATH', $_SERVER{"DOCUMENT_ROOT']);
define('CONFIG_PATH', $_SERVER{"DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/../config');
define('LOGS_PATH', $_SERVER{"DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/../logs');

it works but I think it's not good solution. or at least - it's not nice
solution :-)

suggestions?

Outside of a define, you could have used dirname($_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT]), but
in a define, that's not going to work.
I think you're stuck with your inelegance...

actually, it works

define('CONFIG_PATH', dirname($_SERVER{"DOCUMENT_ROOT']).'/config');
echo "?: ".CONFIG_PATH;   // /home/lamp/mydomain/config

;-)

Thanks.
