Answer 1

Supposing you have a writable "uploads" folder in your application:

You can define a param like this:

Yii::$app->params['uploadPath'] = realpath(Yii::$app->basePath) . '/uploads/';

Then you can simply use the parameter as:

$path1 = Yii::$app->params['uploadPath'] . $filename;

Just depending on if you are using advanced or simple template the base path will be (following the link provided by phazei):

Simple @app: Your application root directory

Advanced @app: Your application root directory (either frontend or backend or console depending on where you access it from)

This way the application will be more portable than using realpath(dirname(__FILE__).'/../../'));
