Htaccess absolute path

Question

Is it possible to get the absolut path to my ".htaccess" file?

Im using this to load init.php in every file.

php_value auto_prepend_file /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/htdocs/init.php

Is there a way so I don't have to write the absolute path?

Like this, if init.php is in the same category as the .htaccess file:

php_value auto_prepend_file [ABSOLUTE_PATH_TO_HTACCESS]/init.php

and if that is possible, how do I write that but still go back one directory (Since init.php is outside public_html, where the .htaccess is).

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Assuming the updated response on the accepted answer here works, and that your relative directory structure is as you describe:

[docroot]
 |
 \- init.php
 |
 \- public_html
     |
     \- .htaccess
     |
     \- index.php

then you should be able to go up one directory to the init.php file you wish to prepend by including the directive

php_value auto_prepend_file ./../init.php

in your .htaccess file.
