Safe Mode and pwd

[nurelm]

What's a good way to figure out the full path to your current script? I'd like it so I can figure out the path what what I want to require from scripts running in different directories.

Since the servers have the 'safe mode' option on for php, you can't do $path = exec('/bin/pwd') and the built-in $PHP_SELF doesn't give the full path.

Take a look at the 'phpinfo()' results... You will see the doc_root set at /big/dom...

I believe in this case to just use:
xnurelm/www/myinclude/myfile.inc

or something similiar...

I have also setup a 'safe_mode_exec_dir' /big/dom/PHP_bin that I have placed 'ls' and 'pwd' into... You can exec these if needed...

Perfect, pwd is something I couldn't figure out how to make php do without an external call.

Using a pwd, I can include a file the same way on my developement platform as on the server, so no changes are needed after an upload.

Thanks!
