    copied!<p>So basically, I'm writing a framework, and as part of it features, it's supposed to provide a set of well-established URIs/paths to the end-developer.</p> <p>Some two of these paths make use of <code>$_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']</code>:</p> <pre><code>/** * Absolute filesystem path to web root install (aka docroot). * @example "C:/wamp/www" OR "/home/visitgoz/public_html/" */ CFG::set('ABS_WWW', str_replace( $tmpseps, DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR, truepath($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']).'/' ) ); /** * K2F path relative to web root. * @example /K2F/ */ CFG::set('REL_K2F', str_replace( array('//','\\'), '/', str_replace(CFG::get('ABS_WWW'),'/',CFG::get('ABS_K2F')) ) ); </code></pre> <p>The code has been fine-tuned to work on both Linux and Windows.
