Path where user extracted php files to

Question

If a user extracted the files of my php application to example http://example.com/test/webapp/, the absolute links in my application won't work anymore.

How can I get the path /test/webapp/ to add it to my absolute links?

Answer 1

You can with:

dirname( $_SERVER["SCRIPT_NAME"] );

make sure your links are always relative in your pages, so when you move your site to another domain they still work.

Check out all other $_SERVER variables by executing phpinfo() .

for redirecting, you can use:

header('Location: https://' . $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'] . dirname($_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME']) . '/some_page.php');
