[Phpwiki-talk] Getting plugin filename of plugin

[Ted V. <te...@jo...>]

Small question, maybe anyone can help me out?

I need to know the path + filename of the plugin, when a plugin is used on a
page. I can't use $PHP_SELF etc. because that would only return the name of
the Wikipage the plugin is used in, when that page is opened. What I need is
e.g. /phpwiki/lib/plugin/<plugin-name>.php, because I need that path for
something inside a plugin I'm working on.

Is this possible and if so, how?

Thanks in advance,
Ted

One way of doing it is to use the __FILE__ "constant" which always
holds the name of the current file. (There's also a __LINE__
"constant" that holds the current line number, I believe they're meant
for printing error-messages.)

The following code gives you the path to the current file, relative to
$DOCUMENT_ROOT:

substr(__FILE__, strlen(realpath($HTTP_SERVER_VARS['DOCUMENT_ROOT'])))
