realpath() won't help since it will just controbute the same

specifically he'll get the path were the page really exists instead
of
the sym'd path which is what he wants.
From www.php.net/realpath :
realpath() expands all symbolic links and resolves references to
'/./',
'/../' and extra '/' characters in the input path . and return the
canonicalized absolute pathname.
Sounds like it'll work.
Not even a little bit. The OP needs the directory the symlink lives
in, not the one it points to. As your snippet of the manual says
realpath expands all symbolic links which means it will give the full
path to the directory the symlink points to. Not what's needed.
After you've admitted to not reading the question you might find it
beneficial to go back and do that before arguing that your suggestion
will work.
