Heya folks. Anybody know an Apache server variable that will return either the script’s current directory or the absolute address of the directory the script is in?

Example: if my .htaccess file is in [http://site.com/dir3/](http://site.com/dir3/), I need a variable that returns either /dir3/ or dir3/ or dir3 or [http://site.com/dir3/](http://site.com/dir3/)

Any ideas?

I think there is a misconfiguration of Apache Virtual Host, and that’s why things aren’t working out how I need them…
