Re: [PHP] document_root

2002-10-01 Thread Chris Shiflett

*cringe*

No, document root is a defined directory, not an attribute of a specific 
file. It is used to map the root URL to a directory on the filesystem.

For example, when you request http://www.google.com/, that final slash 
in the URL is the resource you are requesting. In this case, it is the 
root URL for that domain, and everything branches off from that 
hierarchically.

Document root is the filesystem directory that is equivalent to the root 
URL and is used by the Web server to locate the requested resource. 
Thus, everything within this directory is (potentially, depending on 
permissions) accessible via a URL. For example, if the document root for 
Google were /usr/local/apache/htdocs/, then the URL 
http://www.google.com/foo/bar/blah.php would be equivalent to 
/usr/local/apache/htdocs/foo/bar/blah.php on the filesystem.

Hope that clarifies.

OK. My bad. That's why I see DOCUMENT_ROOT on sourceforge is /var/www/,
while my scripts are in /home/groups/p/pr/project/htdocs/.

Sorry for causing confusion in the ranks. :)

So what the OP wants is dirname() ??

No, if you want to fetch that then do this:

$my_directory = dirname($PHP_SELF);

If you don't have register_globals on then you might have to do this
instead:

$my_directory= dirname($HTTP_SERVER_VARS['PHP_SELF']);

Should end up with /usr/local/apache/htdocs/cha in $my_directory (in this
particular case).

$DOCUMENT_ROOT is whatever your httpd.conf file says DocumentRoot is.
Even if you don't use virtualhosts, there should be a DocumentRoot in one
of your Apache config files.  I believe Apache will complain loudly on
startup if that parameter is missing.

 Whenever I include files in Apache I always do it like this:

 include($DOCUMENT ROOT."/folder/file.php");

 However, now I am doing a site in IIS and I do not have $DOCUMENT ROOT at
 my disposal. What do most of you usually do to workaround this? Aside from
 installing Apache and Linux and bypassing the whole Windows thing :)

Why not either include the doc root in the include_path of php.ini? Or
define you own DOCUMENT_ROOT constant?
