Re: [PHPiCalendar-DEV] 0.8.1

Wow, that's a great idea. 

You might need a checker thingy to make sure that some numbnuckles like
me doesn't set the BASE wrong. But I do suppose since you are going to
put that thing at the top that tells the machine to use that particular
location as the current working directory, it wouldn't really matter.

Take care,

    You're right that getcwd() isn't an option. That's the whole point of 
    BASE in the first place, to tell the scripts where the BASE PHP iCal 
    directory is. However, if at the top of every script, we run a function 
    (yet to be written) which changes the cwd to the base phpicalendar 
    directory, everything should work fine and we can use getcwd() to use 
    the full path.
    
    My thoughts on this would be to check for the existence of a directory 
    called "functions," a directory called "styles," and a directory called 
    "languages." If these 3 are all found, we could possibly check for the 
    existence of "functions/ical_parser.php," If all this hold up, I think 
    it'd be safe to say we're in the phpicalendar root folder. A function 
    that does that wouldn't be hard to write. I'm just wondering if that is 
    sufficient enough to make an accurate assumption.
