Find a files server path when programming in PHP
If you ever need to find a files path when programming in PHP. All you need to do is drop the below code in a text file called path.php.
<?php $p = getcwd(); echo $p; ?>
Put it in the same directory as the file whose path you need and go to it in your web browser.
http://www._yourwebname_.com/_thedirectorythefileisin_/path.php
You will get back something like this.
C:\Websites\_yourwebname_\_thedirectorythefileisin_
So now you know the server path to the file you need.
Simple.

Cool. Thanks. I had actually been needing this for a while and just didn’t bother to google it.
