Hope you got your answer before now? Run phpinfo(); inside a php file.
See: $DOCUMENT_ROOT or $_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"] All other variables you need are listed there. $_SERVER["TEMP"], for example, is very useful. Don't forget to add the $ to the beginning of the variable name. I couldn't actually find document_root in the FAQ search function, but phpinfo() is discussed here: http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.phpinfo.php $DOCUMENT_ROOT is discussed here: http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.variables.predefined.php The WARNING is worth reading, should you ever upgrade to a newer executable of PHP for Windows. (I have found it worthwhile.) Warning In PHP 4.2.0 and later, the default value for the PHP directive register_globals is off. This is a major change in PHP. Having register_globals off affects the set of predefined variables available in the global scope. For example, to get DOCUMENT_ROOT you'll use $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] instead of $DOCUMENT_ROOT, or $_GET['id'] from the URL http://www.example.com/test.php?id=3 instead of $id, or $_ENV['HOME'] instead of $HOME. > I need to find the actual path of the root directory. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
