This is extremely unfortunate as I don't know of a way to do this either. I
do however have a workaround that's not too tedious.
Insert the following code into the very top of all of your documents:
$GLOBALS["DOCUMENT_ROOT"] =
preg_replace("/wwwroot.*$/i","wwwroot",$PATH_TRANSLATED);
This assumes that your root web folder is wwwroot. Change this as necessary.
This enables you to include files like so:
include_once($DOCUMENT_ROOT."/includes/main_header.inc.php");
By the way, $DOCUMENT_ROOT is an Apache environment variable so if you
happen to be running Apache instead of IIS just leave out the preg_replace
call because $DOCUMENT_ROOT will already be set for you.
