Document Path needed if the file is used through alias

[evin666]

I am using PHP 4.3.4 with apache 2.

I have a php file in the path :
D:\php_projects\testproject\test.php

Whan I use getcwd() I get the path D:\php_projects\testproject

But I have to put create new files in the folder
D:\php_projects\
and the path is needed as D:/php_projects/

Is there any functions for that.

Thank You.

have a look at the filesystem possiblities at

http://www.php.net/filesystem

there is [url

http://ca.php.net/manual/en/function.glob.php

]glob()['/url] to get a path matching a pattern

[url

http://ca.php.net/manual/en/function.fopen.php

]fopen()[/url] to open a file, the second parameter is the path...

evin666:
Are you asking about the use of backslashes "\" versus forward slashes "/"?

The problem is likely caused by the fact that PHP uses the backslash character as an escape character -- the path "d:\new_files", for example, would contain in PHP the newline ("\n") character, not backslash enn.

Two things to try:

One is to put Win32 filename strings in singlequotes, not doublequotes. In PHP, doublequotes are not interpolated, so 'd:\new_files' will not contain the newline that "d:\new_files" does.

Another is to double up on your backslashes: "d:\\new_files" does not contain the newline, because PHP interprets "\\" as an unescaped backslash.

Otherwise, just use the forward slashes.

Thank You basteinek.

It worked fine.
I used dirname(getcwd()) for getting the base directory.

Thanks a lot
