Directory path issue

Hi,

I have one php application that uses server path like /var/www/
direcory in queries and also while calling files etc, and uses
__FILE__ to fetch the path.

I have installed apache on Windows XP and when I try to runs the
application locally, script results in C:\apache\htdocs\testapp
\index.php and here application stops working.

Can anybody suggest or give an idea how I can have the similar path
while working locally.

Thanks

I do something similar in my own framework. My init script uses __FILE__
to determine the current path and to define some constants based on
that. Since these scripts have to run on both Linux and Windows, I call
strtr() first to translate all '\' to '/', before I split __FILE__ into
its parts. Internally all my scripts work with the Unix-like directory
separators. PHP can handle that, even if it runs on a Windows box.

$_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] contains the path to the root directory of
your server. Everything can be based off of this. And no parsing
necessary, as is required with __FILE__.
