[PHP] basedir

[diabolo]

does anyone know any pre defined variable that I can get the root address of my site, since I tried using $basedir = "http://www.mysitehere.com";
but php doesn't allow url file access

so does anyone know an alternative method?

what do you mean root adress? and upgrading your PHp version might help

Try using parse_url(), and looking at the 'host' index.

there are some very useful php directory commands here

$_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] - Super Global which contains the path to your root web directory (public_html).

thanks Synkc for the variable, now I am having trouble adding in the '/'
this is my current code, how do I go about adding the foward slash without it getting parsed into the code?
$basedir = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'];
