Subject: Odd PHP question
This isn't directly Linux related but since I know there are a lot of
PHP folks on this list, I thought I'd ask here.

I have multiple domain and multiple subdomain support with my web
hosting enabled mostly by using mod_rewrite. The end result is that
I can define my domains and subdomains by just creating the proper
directory structure.

For instance, say I have "sub.domain.com", "other.domain.com", and
"cool.com". I would simply create following directory structure:

$DOCUMENT_ROOT/domain.com/sub/
$DOCUMENT_ROOT/domain.com/other/
$DOCUMENT_ROOT/cool.com/

So far, so good. That all works just as expected. Now say, though,
that I have a PHP file 'index.php' in the directory 'domain.com/sub'
that looks like so:

<?php echo $_SERVER["PHP_SELF"] ?>

I then execute the script using "http://sub.domain.com/index.php".
The result:

/domain.com/sub/index.php

This is technically accurate... but not at all what I want. Why?
Because typically, PHP code uses the dirname() of this to find other
relative scripts. If you do that, though, then the constructed URL
will look like so:

http://sub.domain.com/domain.com/sub/someother.php

instead of

http://sub.domain.com/someother.php

So it seems that I somehow have to "fool" PHP into thinking that
PHP_SELF (and SCRIPT_NAME and SCRIPT_FILENAME) is "/index.php"
instead of "/domain.com/sub/index.php"

Is that even possible? If so, how. If not, is there any way around
this at all?

Thanks!
Kurt
