[SOLVED] How to find the paths?

[Eng65]

Hi to all,

 

I have a Script that i would like to eventually upload to my hosts Server. Before i do that, i would like to try out the Script on Wamp Server on my PC. I know the paths the host server  (/home/mysite/www/

 

The config.php needs to be set up. As i want to try it out on Wamp on my PC. I am confused to what path i should put in these setting, so i can try the Script on Wamo Server?

 

I have included the script. I would be please if someone could explain what i need to do, and the paths that need to be set for Wamp Server.

 

Thank you

I can't see how we can explain it any clearer than the comments in the script itself. What part exactly don't you understand?

[Eng65]

This is the path to Wampserver on my PC  C:\wamp\www . I want to know what i put on line one on the script:

///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

  // SETTING 1  (IMPORTANT)

  ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

  // this is the full path for the root directory of your website

  define("FULL_PATH", "/home/freedir/www/");

                                  C:\wamp\www?

 

What would be the path?

 

Thanks

define("FULL_PATH", "C:\\wamp\\www\\");

Thank you for your help.

Just one question though? In the code  C:\\wamp\\www\\ there are two backslashes \\ what does this mean?

A single \ when within double quotes has special meaning and will escape the next char. Thus, for the single \ to remain intact, it must be escaped.

 

If you where using single quotes it wouldn't be needed.

 

define("FULL_PATH", 'C:\wamp\www\');
