Finding the Document Root

Document root is sometimes needed to install scripts, find it with Getenv ()

You're installing a script. You're moving along, doing fine, when suddenly you need to know the document root. How can you find it? Well you could e-mail tech support and wait 15 hours for them to let you know, or you could use a simple PHP script with getenv (). Here's how:

<?php
//Gets the document root
$root = getenv("DOCUMENT_ROOT") ;
Echo $root;
?>

And that's all. These few lines of code should return the document root. Hopefully keeping this small script around will save you future install headaches.
