Re: [PHP] Getting The Document Root
Jeremy Privett wrote: 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. /quote and then use 'dirname()' http://php.net/manual/en/function.dirname.php Ciao!

Re: [PHP] Regular expression
Barry wrote:
Simple reg help please
i want to match the last , in a,b,c,d and replace it with and
Without using a regexp, you could do:
code
$string = 'a,b,c,d';
$letters = explode(',', $string);
$last_letter = array_pop($letters);
$final_string = implode(',', $letters) . ' and ' . $last_letter;
/code
Not very efficient - but should work...

Check out 'headers_sent', you can choose how to redirect ('header' or
