Is there anyway to read doc_root variable from php.ini?

I have tried

PHP Code:

ini_get('doc_root') 

and I dont want the value in

PHP Code:

$_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] 

because I need to run it command line and that doesn't work in command line.

I am also willing to use any other variable that I can set custom in the php.ini

Thanks,

Toby

May I ask why?

There is no value in $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] from the command line.

I have read that somewhere before, and here is what comes out when I run this:

PHP Code:

print_r($_SERVER); 

I cut out the top part of the output because it does nothing to help this:

Code:

 [PHP_SELF] => d:\wamp\www\deleteme.php
   [SCRIPT_NAME] => d:\wamp\www\deleteme.php
   [SCRIPT_FILENAME] => d:\wamp\www\deleteme.php
   [PATH_TRANSLATED] => d:\wamp\www\deleteme.php
   [DOCUMENT_ROOT] =>
   [REQUEST_TIME] => 1242498822
   [argv] => Array
       (
           [0] => d:\wamp\www\deleteme.php
       )

   [argc] => 1

So does anyone know a way to get a custom php.ini variable back to php?

Notes on $_SERVER variables:

PHP: CGI and command line setups - Manual

Options:

PHP: Magic constants - Manual

-- or --

instead of using command line PHP use wget http://localhost/thefile.php - which will execute it through Apache/IIS.

If you need the wget output, use -O option.

-- or --

Create an include file that provides the constants you need to both server served and command line processed scripts.

yea, I think your right, there are other issues that I am running into with the command line, so I'll just use the wget. Thanks for the help from both of you.
