no document_root?

[olafmol]

Hello,

on my windows NT4 server with IIS4 and PHP Version 4.3.1 i don't have any
"DOCUMENT_ROOT" environment var. Is there any reason i dont get this? Can i
do something about it? I need this because i run a template with an include
inside an eval-block that is requested from 2 different locations.

Thanks, Olaf

Try using $_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"]

Running phpinfo.php might be of use to you.

Use Apache for windows instead

DOCUMENT_ROOT I believe is specific to Apache, or at least IIS doesn't
set it. Because of this, when working with IIS, I work off the system
path via:
$DOCUMENT_ROOT=dirname(__FILE__);
which is in a file that I place in the document root. I then have that
file included by all other scripts (sometimes with auto_prepend).

Sorry, I should have provided this as well (from my bookmarks):
