HTTP ROOT

[mme]

Hi

 

I would like it so a varible is assigned to the http root

 

<?php 
$myvar = getenv("DOCUMENT_ROOT");
?>

 

However I want the last directory to be removed

 

eg;

 

from

 

/var/www/vhosts/mysite.com/httpdocs

 

to

 

/var/www/vhosts/mysite.com

 

Thanks

Change it in httpd.conf, not in a PHP script.

Oh wait.  Do you want to use it in the script without the last slash, or do you want to actually change the document root?

I want to use it in a script without the last directory and its slash.

 

In my case without /httpdocs/

I might be wrong, but try this:

$pos = strpos($myvar, 'httpdocs');

$newenv = substr($myvar, 0, $pos);

echo $newenv;

If you want it to read "/var/www/vhosts/mysite.com", use:

$pos = strpos($myvar, 'httpdocs');

$newenv = substr($myvar, 0, $pos-1);

echo $newenv;

 

If you want it to read "/var/www/vhosts/mysite.com/", use:

$pos = strpos($myvar, 'httpdocs');

$newenv = substr($myvar, 0, $pos);

echo $newenv;

Thanks

 

But what if I wanted to use this on another server that doesnt use httpdocs? without manual changes for each different server?

You'd need to code a function that analyzed the string and got the position of the last slash and removed it that way.  I could code one I guess, if you really need it.  Do you?

[DarkWater]

function get_new_root() {
  $oldenv = get_env("DOCUMENT_ROOT");
  $slashpos = strrpos($oldenv, "/");
  if ($slashpos === false) {
    return false;
  }
  $newenv = substr($oldenv, 0, $slashpos);
  return $newenv;
}

 

Removes everything after the final slash. =)  Should work on any server.

Usage:

  $doc_root = get_new_root();

 

Returns FALSE if it can't find slashes.

Awesome Thanks so much

It worked okay?

 

I hope so.   No problem, by the way.

<?php

  $myvar = realpath($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']) . '/..');

?>
