Thanks for the reply Micah but i have no interest in the URL. I am looking for the servers local path to the directory. (example: /var/www/directory/ or C:\apache\htdocs\directory\) Also the HTTP_REFERER is empty unless you are linked in from another location. And then it gives you the URL you came from.
