myphpfreaks Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 I read that I needed $DOCUMENT_ROOT/ to save or read files on my server. It works without it. Why and what is the purpose of having $Document_root/ in the first place? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ninjakreborn Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 You definitely don't have to docroot. However it can help you to make the path's easier. I recommend using it if you are not good with paths in php. ONce you get good then you can do it manually. What docroot does is look at the VERY root, so it helps you to get the path's right. In case if you were 5/6 folders down. the only purpose of it is to help find the path with less problems, but it's far from required. I personally find it easier.
