I cannot for the life of me remember this variable name

[aeroswat]

It's a SERVER variable I believe that shows the path to the home directory

[ChemicalBliss]

$_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'];

This will return the full path to the current directory the current top-level script (if includes, then the first script called) that has been called.

 

I suggest getting very intimate with the php manual:

http://php.net/manual/en/reserved.variables.server.php

 

Hope this helps,

Thanks that's it but it doesn't work for CRON jobs is there anything else I could do that might cover that part in cron jobs?

Put the server path in a config variable.

 

I'm afraid this is the only way i know of getting an absolute path with a GLOBAL variable stated.

 

This shouldn't be a problem for a cron job though, even if your uploading to 1000 websites you can make a php script to upload them for you and edit the config file as necessary.

Thanks. I have a few more problems to fix in the system before my temporary employment has expired so I don't think I have time to make that universal. I'll do it at home once I'm out.
