(Summary: is there a way to convert virtual paths to physical paths
using PHP on IIS?)
I hope I'm not covering old ground, but I've spent a couple of hours
looking for this information and have so far failed.
I'm creating a PHP site that will run on IIS (not my choice, so please
don't just say "use Apache"), and I want to implement a virtual
directory system to allow multiple "installati ons" that use a single
code location.
(This would mean that I could update the base code once and all the
sites would "receive" the change, but using virtual paths each site has
it's own configuration files, etc.)
For this to work correctly, I need to be able to convert a virtual path
on IIS into a physical path, and this is where I'm failing to find any
useful information.
Unfortunately I'm coming round to the conclusion that there isn't a way
of doing this.
If you can prove me wrong please, please do...!
Any help greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Tom :-)

You are out of luck. It hasn't occurred to anyone yet that such a
function would be useful.

That's what I was afraid of. :-(
As a get-around, I'm now using an overly complex method of parsing
$_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAM E'] to pick up the virtual path, and using an
internal look-up table for the physical path.
Not ideal - but it will have to do.
Anyway, thanks for the information Chung.

I am trying to setup an asp.net web application without using a virtual
directory, but when I do, the IDE forces me to use absolute paths so I cannot
use root relative paths. Is there a way to setup IIS so that you can use root
relative paths without including the name of the virtual directory?

Hi,
Is there anyway, without dropping back to C++ and ISAPI filters, whereby I
can route requests to virtual url paths through to the ASPNET runtime and
ultimately processed by an HttpModule?
Let me give you an example:
If I have an website in IIS with host-header of www.mysite.com, no actual
content (html, aspx, subfolders etc) but a Global.asax and a web.config

I have a problem and I've been using a cheezy work around and was
wondering if anyone else out there has a better solution.
The problem:
Let's say I have a web application appA. Locally, I set it up as
C:\domains\appA. Locally, my IIS root points to C:\domains. I don't
point it to C:\domains\appA since if I have an appB under C:\domains I
wouldn't be able to get to it. So to access it via my browser I go to
localhost/appA.

In classic ASP I could write:
<!-- #INCLUDE VIRTUAL="Kevin\General\ServiceClass.asp" -->
and it would "include" that ASP file into the current ASP file. My web
application folder was not stored in C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\ but somewhere else.
But the VIRTUAL command let IIS locate files by the IIS virtual folder.
Now in ASP.NET this does not work. It complains saying:

I'm confused about paths.
I have a functionn that uses the mappath method, which I think requires a
virtual path (is that the same as a relative path?).
But this doesn't always work as the path can take the form of the following:
1. /directory/images/xyz.gif (works fine)
2. http://localhost:1234/www.mytestwebsite.com/directory/images/xyz.gif
(doesn't work)
3. http:///www.someremotesite.com/directory/images/abc.gif (doesn't work)

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:
