Is there a way to get the absolute path of a file while having it included in another script?
So I'm trying to include a file that's in folder A while I'm in folder B but it keeps trying to refer to folder B's location.
I've tried dirname, $SERVER['PHP_SELF'], cwd(), but they still return a relative path.

Click the Start button and then click Computer, click to open the location of the desired file, hold down the Shift key and right-click the file. Copy As Path: Click this option to paste the full file path into a document. Properties: Click this option to immediately view the full file path (location).
php $path = "C:\\test_folder\\folder2\\folder4"; $sub_folder = scandir($path); $num = count($sub_folder); for ($i = 2; $i < $num; $i++) { if(is_file($path. '\\'.
If you mean the path where the image was located on the user computer before he/she uploaded it to your form - you can never know it in php or javascript or anywhere else. In PHP you can see the path on SERVER (usually in the temporary folder) where the file was stored so you can read or copy it.
The __DIR__ can be used to obtain the current code working directory. It has been introduced in PHP beginning from version 5.3. It is similar to using dirname(__FILE__). Usually, it is used to include other files that is present in an included file.
You can try like this
include dirname(__FILE__).'/../yourfile.php';
Since PHP 5.3.0 you can use also the magic constant __DIR__ More info in the docs
Another way is
$rootDir = realpath($_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"]);
include "$rootDir/yourfile.php";
__FILE__
That is the absolute path to the file being executed.
simple usage examples:
echo
__FILE__;echo "This file is: " .
__FILE__;
