How to get the absolute path to the public_html folder?

Question

$_SERVER[\'DOCUMENT_ROOT\']

returns

/usr/local/apache/htdocs/

is there a way to get

/home/us         


        

Answer 1

something I found today, after reading this question and continuing on my googlesurf:

https://docs.joomla.org/How_to_find_your_absolute_path

works for me
