Simple, entry-level stuff right? But how often do you have to fuss around a while before you succeed at including that darn file?

PHP:

define('ROOTPATH', __DIR__);

Result: /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/ankrommoisan/wp-content/themes/ankrommoisan-2017/template-parts/page

$_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'];

Result: /Applications/MAMP/htdocs

$_SERVER["HTTP_HOST"];

Result: localhost

getcwd();

Result: Current Working Directory, ie: /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/active-theme-folder

WordPress:

get_template_directory();

Result: /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/site/wp-content/themes/active-theme-folder

Javascript:

window.location.pathname

Example: “check-path-example”

window.location.href

Example: “https://js-tricks.info/check-path-example”

window.location.origin

Example: “https://js-tricks.info/check-path-example”

jQuery:

$(location).attr('host')

Result: path

$(location).attr('href')

Result: href

$(location).attr('protocol')

Result: protocol

HTML File Paths

src="image.jpg"

Result: file is in the same folder as the page using it

src="images/image.jpg"

Result: file is in an images folder that resides in the current file’s location

src="/images/image.jpg"

Result: at the web root there is an images folder with the file inside it

src="../image.jpg"

Result: the file is in a folder one level up from the current file’s location

../ is not to be confused with ./ which points to the current directory in a computer file structure setting
