Re: [development] DRUPAL_ROOT const in 7.0

Check out these issues on it: http://drupal.org/node/259623 http://drupal.org/node/319154 Jamie Holly http://www.intoxination.net http://www.hollyit.net On 2/7/2011 4:43 AM, Massar Dev-Team wrote:

In Drupal v7.0 index.php file:

define('DRUPAL_ROOT', getcwd());

What is the point of using getcwd() and not dirname(__FILE__) instead? getcwd() will rely on the directory set by web server, right? while dirname(__FILE__) is independent.

I used to hack bootstrap.inc in Drupal-6.x to add this constant, but now it appears in every .php file directly inside the Drupal directory, what about moving it to bootstrap.inc?
