[PHP] _SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] not set?
Hello group, I am new to php. I have just bought a good book by Welling and Thomson and was following the example codes. In one of the examples, I am supposed to access _SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']. However, when I am seeing its value in the debug stack, I am getting it to be null! Even phpinfo() is showing that this particular variable does not even exist, though there are other _SERVER[''] declarations. I installed everything on my local computer using xampp and I am using Zend IDE. And I have searched through archives as well as google and not found any useful advice. Thanks! Saurabh.

David, I just found a thing. I had been running this script within the Zend IDE, looking at output in the IDE itself. Now that I see the output in Firefox, I can see the variable in phpinfo(), as well as in the output of print_r($_SERVER). It must be something to do with Zend, then. Is that it? Even the output of print_r contains the line [DOCUMENT_ROOT]=>D:/xampp/htdocs in Firefox, but no such line in Zend! Thanks for the help! Saurabh.

How can I find that out? AFAIK, while custom installation, it didn't ask for any such option. Thanks! Saurabh.
