[PHP] Get working directory

In PHP, there is a very simple way to retrieve the working directory.

You simply call dirname(__FILE__)  wherever it is needed. You can also stack dirnames to retrieve parent directories as shown in the example below:

<?php
 //Example script path: home/content/en/script.php
 $parentparentdir=basename(dirname(dirname(__FILE__)));
 echo $parentparentdir; //will output 'content'
?>
