I have a local testing server running XAMPP. The system root path is based on a windows config. (C:/Program Files/XAMPP/xampp/htdocs)
My remote server is linux and so the system root path is different.
(var/www/vhosts)
I have php files running on my different websites that reference include files based on that system root. It all works correctly on the remote server, but obviously, that same system path doesn't work locally.
Is there a way to tell apache to "translate" that system path to work with my local system path without having to change the includes back and forth depending on which server I'm running on?
IN other words, have my local server translate "var/www/vhosts" to "C:/Program Files/XAMPP/xampp/htdocs" on the fly.
That may be a bit hard to understand. Please let me know and I will be glad to elaborate a bit more.
Thanks! |

What you are searching for is in PHP
| Code: |
$_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"]

Yep...as it turns out, I hadn't even thought to google a solution with PHP. Did that last night. First found HTML_ROOT...then found DOCUMENT_ROOT. Works like a charm! Now I just have to change all my pages that referenced the full path! 
Thanks for replying! |
