running scripts without session

[Jon Slaughter]

When I run my scripts on a http server I can use the
$_SESSION['Document_Root'] to get the dir of the scripts and stuff(I have my
local file system laid out exactly as the one on my server.

The issue is that when I run the script without using session_start I have
to set the document root manually. Now every time I switch from running
locally to a web server I have to comment out the line. Its not a big deal
but I'm wonder if I could somehow tell php to use a default document root if
a session isn't started?

Thanks,
Jon

hmm, actually it doesn't work. because I use session_start(); I get a
document root... just not the correct one. I guess I have to find some
setting to change in the local http server the debugger uses.

Thanks,

Hm.
Did you see value of $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] ?
May be it can help you.

Why wouldn't you just /always/ use $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] ?

You should I guess. I didn't see that it was getting set locally for some
reason and didn't realize that it was pointing to the wrong place. Was just
being stupid ;/
