web accessable directory of a file

[dingus]

hey just a quick question from me im wondering how i can get the web path of a file with php...... for example

 

at "www.example.com/testscript/test.php" the first line is

require_one("../config.php"); 

 

in config.php how can i detect that its web path is www.example.com/config.php?

I'm pretty sure you can't, but you can guess at it based off of the REQUEST_URI.

 

The problem is that a file doesn't have a web path, it has a directory path. If that happens to be in a local Apache is serving, then it will have a web path, but it might not have any and it might have several, when you consider vhosts and domain aliases and rewrite rules, ect.

 

A good starting place might be this:

 

print_r($_SERVER);

echo $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'];

 

is that what you mean?
