virtual path problem

[Yang Li Ke]

hi,

I have a script in a folder which simply creates a file in another dump
folder

/myscript/script.php
/myscript/dumpfolder/

but then i call this script from my index
page which is in the root folder

/index.php

and it doesnt go to /myscript/dumpfolder/
but it looks for the /dumpfolder/

how can I always have the rigth path if
I call this script from anywhere on my
site ?

Thank you very much !

Yang

What has script.php got to do with your example above?

Correct me if I am wrong - If you are in a directory path /my/directory/here
and you want to run your script from there, and for it to look in
/my/directory/dumpfolder then try using $_SERVER[DOCUMENT_ROOT] to help find
your current root folder - it works for virtual hosts too...
