How does one retrieve the current "document_root" and/or other apache specific information from within an extension. I'm just starting to write an extension as a learning process now, but I have an extension that I would like to write, but need to learn first. Thank you for any help, Daniel

If apache is the only platform you're targeting, you can get at the apache request structure like this: request_rec *r; r = ((request_rec *) SG(server_context)); If you're running under a different web server, you'll most likely blow it up shortly after this point. If you want a degree of platform independence, take a look at SAPI.h, our server API abstraction layer. --Wez. On Tue, 08 Mar 2005 08:36:46 -0700, Daniel Simser <daniel.simser@techmeridian.com> wrote:
