[PHP] Getting the script path of a commandline script

2002-11-26 Thread Ryan Grove
Anyone know how to get the script path (not the current working directory,
but the actual path of the executing script) of a commandline script?

I've dug through the docs and can't find this anywhere. None of the
typical $_SERVER variables return the script path (although several of
them return the filename, hooray for redundancy). The docs say several
times that getcwd() will NOT return the path of the executing script, but
they don't mention how to get it.

Help.

_SERVER[argv] [ 0 ] gives the full path to the script (including the
script's name and filetype)

=dn

PS if you want to know more, run the standard PHPINFO() through the command
line, piping to an output.HTML file, then drop that into your browser!
