List of globals

Mike, these are all EE classes. You can read about them in the docs. In your case $PREFS->ini(‘system_folder’) might help.

Thanks for the reply Ingmar. Do you have an exact url that lists the different variables? The page you referred me to lists some of the classes for these globals, and I was able to guess that the Input class related to the $IN variable, but what class on that page relates to the $PREFS variable?

I have yet to find a page that lists all of the global variables available to me when developing a module.

Thanks again for your help.

Cheers, Mike

Unfortunately, $PREFS->ini(‘system_folder’) produced:

Notice: Undefined property: Preferences::$ini

Mike

Aha, it’s $PREFS->core-ini[‘system_folder’]

happy dance

Mike

Sorry, that must’ve change at some point. It’s $PREFS->core_ini[‘system_folder’] now. Try var_dump($PREFS) for a complete list.

please ignore this post

Greetings Mike,

From the error it appears you may have typed

$PREFS->$ini('system_folder');

Should be:

$PREFS->ini('system_folder');

Hmm, still can’t get things to work.

I’m using apache’s mod_userdir, so I couldn’t use the $_SERVER[‘DOCUMENT_ROOT’] in combination with the $PREFS global information to get the correct path.

I ended up making a system call, pwd which produces

/home/mweichert/public_html/ee/system

That’s perfect, and just what I was after - but I still cannot open or write a file within my modules folder. For example:

$my_module_path = trim(`pwd`).'/sphinx';
$base = file_get_contents($my_module_path.'/default.base');

produces:

Warning: file_get_contents(/home/mweichert/public_html/ee/system/sphinx/default.base) [function.file-get-contents]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/mweichert/public_html/ee/system/modules/sphinx/mcp.sphinx.php on line 152

I appreciate your help guys.

I don’t know about mod_userdir, but personally I’d use $IN->GBL(‘DOCUMENT_ROOT’, ‘SERVER’);
