PHP absolute path to root

[Joveice]

I don't seem to find a way that works to get the absolute path to root. html was simple "/" but this doesent work in php (or at least for me :P)

so how can I do this?

PHP just generates HTML, nothing changes, it is still HTML, so / should work, can you say something more? Do you see your index when accessing / ? or you need to type int "/somedirectory/index.php"?

when I access the /folder/ it displays the index file. tho the php include parts are missing, if I change from /assets to ../assets it displays the index with css

I found this way, tho I'm not sure if this is the best way.

<?php

	$path = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'];
	$path .= "/assets/scripts/header_script.php";

	include_once($path);

?>

I thought you mean links, as you said it worked in HTML, but HTML has no include function, that mislead me a bit.

Oh sorry  but now as you know what I where looking for. is this a good way to do it?

[Mr_KoKa]

I guess it is ok, it is specified by configuration, but I don't know, never used it, I have no other idea either.
