my brain is currently soaked and i cant think.

i want to use $_SERVER["SCRIPT_FILENAME"]
to find out the full path the script lies in. but this includes the filename, and i don't want that

by easieast way? general for both win & *nix ofcourse

Use dirname(__FILE__) instead. It will show the full root of the file without the filename.

I would do what mikelbring recommended. However, one thing many people do not know about is the DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR constant - it will be \ on windows and / on Linux. So if for some reason, you wanted to accomplish this using string manipulations, you could do:

$string = implode(DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR, 
                  explode(DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR, 
                          $_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME'], -1));

You could also use substr and strrpos:

$path = substr($_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME'], 0, strrpos(DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR));
