I'm looking for a method that would be able to extract the user's true
document root (e.g. /home/jeremy/public_html/) so that I can use it for
some filesystem scanning functions. I'm trying to avoid hard-coding
supported document roots in favor of being able to dynamically detect
it, but nothing is coming to mind. I thought I would consult some of the
minds of the mailing list for advice. Any ideas or code would be greatly
appreciated.
You can try with __FILE__
<quote from="http://php.net/manual/en/language.constants.predefined.php";>
The full path and filename of the file. If used inside an include, the
name of the included file is returned. Since PHP 4.0.2, __FILE__ always
contains an absolute path whereas in older versions it contained
relative path under some circumstances.

and then use 'dirname()'
