Hello,
I am learning PHP5. I need to obtain my website's root directory in .php
code. I tried the code:
echo __DIR__, $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'];
but it displays:
__DIR__/var/www/html
although my_website is installed in user's
directory: /home/robert/public_html/my_website.
I don't know why and how to obtain root directory.
Please help.
Thanks!

The __DIR__ constant was added in PHP 5.3.0, which as fas as I know is
expected to be released in the next months. http://es.php.net/manual/en/language...predefined.php
Your problem is that your ISP has configured the web server in such a
way that the DOCUMENT_ROOT value is unreliable. You'll need to calculate
it yourself. A simple dirname(__FILE__) in your site root will do the trick.

echo $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] should display the root. What webserver
are you running (i.e. Apache, IIS, etc.), and are you running as a
module or a cgi?
If you're not sure, you can find this (and a lot of other information)
with phpinfo(), i.e. a file containing only:
<?php
phpinfo();
?>

Many shared hosts pull crap like this. As soon as I can figure out how
to configure a Debian LAMP setup, all of my sites will be on my Linode
account. On these type of shared hosts, "/" can be unreliable if not
handled with care.

Thomas,
Don't install LAMP. Everything you need on Debian is available via
aptitude or apt_get. They're not necessarily the absolute latest and
greatest - but they're fairly recent and stable.
Debian already comes with MySQL installed (in fact, you want to use that
version because Debian also uses MySQL). And it will make
administration much easier.

Thanks, I know how Debian works, after all (it's my favorite OS). I
actually have no trouble running LAMP itself (having used a Debian
LAMP server locally for a year), it's getting the mail services and
DNS that gives me fits. I may check out that book put out by No Starch
once they update it to Etch (it was stuck on Sarge last I checked). At
this point, they may as well update it for Lenny.

Exim does pretty with a little work. It can be hard to configure for
special circumstances, but I've found it works OK.
With that said - I've heavily customized my Exim installations for spam
filtering, aliases via MySQL database, etc. But even without that, it
worked with minimal setup.

It's much easier to configure, for one thing. SendMail is a real bear!
It's difficult even to configure it to handle all of your incoming
mail without accidentally becoming a spam relay.
Of course, so is Exim for more complicated things - but at least for the
majority of the sites it's pretty easy to configure. And the basic
configuration is done by a command line script - all you need to do is
fill in the blanks and it configures Exim for your site.
