Question

So first check out my line of code below:

$env_config['tmpl_file_basepath'] = DOC_ROOT . '/tpl/';

DOC_ROOT is equal to $_SERVER[‘DOCUMENT_ROOT’] which is equal to /var/www/example.com/html/

So my code above would set that path to: /var/www/example.com/html/tpl/

However the tpl folder should actually be in /var/www/example.com/

So first is there any server variable that is equal to the domain root, rather than the public directory root? And if not, is there a way to go up a diretory such as:

$env_config['tmpl_file_basepath'] = DOC_ROOT . '../tpl/';

I tried that but instead it just did /var/www/example.com/html/../tpl/

If this site was just in one location, I could simply manually type in the server path, but this is a config file that is used on local, dev, and live so I can’t have it hardcoded. I’ve gotten everything else working. Thank you!

To go up one directory, you can use dirname:

$env_config['tmpl_file_basepath'] = dirname(DOC_ROOT) . '/tpl/';
