Finding URL Path

[Larry101]

I am trying to find the URL to a directory TWO levels above the script level (if you know what I mean).

 

For example.. the script sits at

http://www.domain.com/TestArea2/members/index.php

BUT I need to find the path to 

http://www.domain.com/TestArea2/

 

the nearest I get is...

$domain = $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'];
$domain .=  $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
echo $domain; // outputs www.domain.com/TestArea2/members/index.php 

 

Is there a simple method to do this or have I got to split the string and work backwards?

 

Many thanks

Try:

echo realpath("../../");

 

If that doesn't work, take a good look at the php functions:

getcwd();

dirname();

basename();

realpath();

echo realpath("../../");

getcwd();

dirname();

basename();

realpath();

 

Thanks but the realpath returned the absolute path but not the URL. Is there an equivalent to return the URL?

See parse_url() and reconstruct the URL in whatever way you want.

 

Thanks!

Tried all sorts but eventually wrote this... bit long winded but seems to work

 

$domain .=  $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];// $domain = /TestArea2/members/index.php

    $domain_arr = explode('/', $domain);
   
   $arr_len = count($domain_arr);//get length of array
   
   for ($i=1;$i<$arr_len-2;$i++){  //loop through except last 2
        $url_path .= "/" .$domain_arr[$i];
   }
   echo $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] .$url_path ."<br>"; //prints www.domain.com/TestArea2
