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

Out of curiosity, why don't you just use the url for the said folder?

http://www.mysite.com/images

Assuming that the folder never changes location, that would be the easiest way to do it.
