[wp-hackers] Determining URL from within a plugin

[Denis de Bernardy]

I personally use a few defines:

if ( !defined('site_url') )
{
	define('site_url', trailingslashit(get_settings('siteurl')));
}
if ( !defined('site_path') )
{
	define('site_path', str_replace(('http://' . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']),
'', site_url));
}

and:

$plugin_path = str_replace(
					str_replace("\\", "/", ABSPATH),
					'',
					str_replace("\\", "/",
dirname(__FILE__))
					);

the str_replace("\\", "/", ...) prevents it from breaking on windows
platforms. and typically, you'll use $this->path within a class rather than
$plugin_path to avoid name collisions.

from there:

echo site_url;

http://yoursite.com/wp-dir/

echo site_path;

/wp-dir/

echo site_path . $plugin_path;

/wp-dir/wp-content/plugins/plugin-dir

echo site_path . $plugin_path . '/plugin-file.php';

/wp-dir/wp-content/plugins/plugin-dir/plugin-file.php


hope this helps.
