in PHP you can get the document root by: $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']. Ej:

PHP

<?php

$root = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'];

$path = '/example/directory/';

$file = 'some-file.html';



include( $root . $path . $file );



...etc

?>

How can I get the value of $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] in jQuery/JavaScript?

jQuery

//Example:

var root = ????;

var path = 'example/directory/';

var file = 'some-file.txt';



$(#example).load( root + path + file );

Notes: Whenever I work on directories, on an HTML page, the BASE directory becomes the directory of the current file. Ej, www.ejample.com/documents/examples/this-ex.html. If I just call $(#example).load( path + file ) the request would be documents/examples/ + example/directory. Like I said, it's not a question about server-side stuff. Is about getting a correct (and automatic) directory position
