Please read again my previous answer why getcwd is not the solution. Also read the man page of getcwd. I think r->filename should be what you're looking for, where r is a pointer to the request_rec of the currently served request. Pass r->filename to dirname() (man 3 dirname) in order to extract the directory name from the path of the served file. Sorin -- A: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation. Q: Why is top-posting frowned upon? A: Top-posting. Q: What is the most annoying thing in e-mail?
