$HTTP_SERVER_VARS["PATH_TRANSLATED"] or may be just $PATH_TRANSLATED will
give you the name of the parent file. This gives the actual filesystem path
of the parent file. It should be a simple matter of using str_replace to
change this into a URL.
Here's an example from one of my sites (names changed to protect the
innocent):
============================================================================
=============
## Assign the doc path (used instead of $PHP_SELF)
if (strstr($HTTP_SERVER_VARS["PATH_TRANSLATED"],
"/usr/local/apache/htdocs")) {
$DOC_PATH = str_replace("/usr/local/apache/htdocs",
"http://dev.domain.com";, $HTTP_SERVER_VARS["PATH_TRANSLATED"]);
$SITE_URL = "http://dev.domain.com";; }
else {
$DOC_PATH = str_replace("/home/www/apache/htdocs",
"http://www.domain.com";, $HTTP_SERVER_VARS["PATH_TRANSLATED"]);
$SITE_URL = "http://www.domain.com";;
}
============================================================================
=============
I hope the above comes out OK. I'm writing this using Outlook Express <spit>
and it has a tendency to think it knows better and keeps removing the "s
around "http://www.domain.com";.
