Shoutbox

basically, I am looking for a method to obtain the directory where the current script is running. I do know that $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] contains the full url, but it is not cross platform. (*cough* IIS *cough*)

so for any url, http://subdomain.domain.tld/folder/folder2/file.php, i need http://subdomain.domain.tld/folder/folder2/ to be returned

help please? anyone?

Code stolen from WordPress...

code:

---

// Fix for IIS, which doesn't set REQUEST_URI
if ( empty( $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] ) ) {
    $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] = $_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME']; // Does this work under CGI?

    // Append the query string if it exists and isn't null
    if (isset($_SERVER['QUERY_STRING']) && !empty($_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'])) {
        $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] .= '?' . $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'];
    }
}

REQUEST_URI won't contain the hostname though... you can get that from HTTP_HOST.

oops, did i say REQUEST_URI? i meant SCRIPT_URI...
Thanks DZ, but that still doesn't take out the file name...

stolen from php.net

code:

---

<?php

$path_only = implode("/", (explode('/', $_SERVER["SCRIPT_URI"], -1)));

print $path_only;

?>

SCRIPT_URI? I've never seen that used in PHP... (Edit: Apparently it only exists under Apache with mod_rewrite enabled)

Anyway, the easiest way to remove the filename is to use the dirname() function...

code:

---

if(empty($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'])) {
    $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] = $_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'];
}

// Strip off query string so dirname() doesn't get confused
$url = preg_replace('/\?.*$/', '', $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']);
$url = 'http://'.$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'].'/'.ltrim(dirname($url), '/').'/';
