PHP General,
What I am trying to achieve is to output the path in which the current
script is executing, without having the name of the file attached. I'm
hoping to be able to do this without complicated code to truncate path
names and whatnot.
Either of these two variables do what I want, except that they include
the name of the file:
$_SERVER[PHP_SELF]
$_SERVER[SCRIPT_NAME]
For example, if create file called "test.php" and I echo the output of
$_SERVER[PHP_SELF], I get:
/web_sites/gutteridge.info/web/test.php
But all I want is:
/web_sites/gutteridge.info/web
(It's important that the last forward slash not be there).
I would have thought that an existing global variable would exist to do
this, but I can't find it in the php manual:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/reserved.variables.php
$_SERVER[DOCUMENT_ROOT] provides a path without the file name, but it's
not the path I need. In my case, the output is:
/var/www
$_SERVER[PATH_TRANSLATED] also provides a different path, and also
attaches the file name:
/var/www/web_sites/gutteridge.info/web/test.php
The bottom line is, how can I get the same path as $_SERVER[PHP_SELF] or
$_SERVER[SCRIPT_NAME], but without including the file name?
use dirname().
