The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Posting the current directory of the current loaded page

Asked by Simon336697 in PHP Scripting Language

Hi guys,

Please correct me if im wrong, but whatever php page is loaded, will the following return the directory of where that php page is located on disk?

dirname(__FILE__)

What im trying to do is the following:

php file -----------> post its directory path in a variable to a perl file

1) php file has an upload facitlity
2) the action on the form is to post to a cgi file

what im trying to do is to change the set "save" directory variable in the cgi file to whatever PHP page has submitted to it in real time

by that i mean....

1) php page A

2) cgi file has the save directory variable set to something other than the directory where php pageA is located.

but what i want is upon page load of php page A, and BEFORE the user has a chance to upload, for the phpA page to somehow communicate with this cgi file and update its save directory variable to point to the directory in which phpA is located.

I hope this makes sense.

The cgi file is called  file-upload.cgi, and in it is the following variable that i need to update whenever a php page gets loaded.
That is, whatever php page it is, and before any uploads get submitted from that php page, the save directory needs to be defined in the cgi file to point to that directory where that php  page in question is located.

$SAVE_DIRECTORY = "/var/www/html/simeswiki/uploader";

Guys i do have another question on this so im sorry, but this is one i would really like to knock on the head.

Any help greatly appreciated.
