Easy Question...I think

[Westond]

I have a large site that and i use a application variable that has the root defined in it so I can use code like #application.root#/images/mypic.jpg. What I want is to make the root variable dynamic so the site can be placed under any folder structure and still work. I dont think I can use application variable bc it will reset every time.

This is what I am thinking:
<cflock ....>
<cfparam name="session.root" default="However you get root">
</cflock>

I dont think I can use expandpath because it contains the drive letter.

thanks for any help

The cgi.PATH_INFO might be what you want. However, it still contains the cfm which calls it.

A workaround like this may solve the problem:

<!-- If the cfm name is [blue]index.cfm[/blue] -->
<cflock ....>
<cfparam name="session.root" default="#replace(cgi.PATH_INFO,'[blue]index.cfm[/blue]','')#>
</cflock>

is this to save files or to use it in html? you're talking about 2 different roots.
