You can use dirname($_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME']); to get your current directory for your existing file.

Perfect! This is the only solution that delivers the proper server path. All others outputs on windows xampp windows style path which is usually not what we really want. – Hexodus Jan 05 '16 at 11:29

You can get the absolute path with this:

$dirpath=realpath(dirname($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']));

dirname(__FILE__)

Try this one:

   $dir =  realpath('./');
   echo $dir;

This should get the absolute path of the current directory.

echo getcwd();

Should also do the trick.

That's where the script starts. You may want to add directories upon it.

Tested and this won't work because this returns the local file path, i.e. `file://`, and xampp will log an error: `Not allowed to load local resource` – Bram Vanroy Nov 08 '15 at 00:01
