Think what you meant was $i>=0; which works not $i>0;

$path = "";

for($i=count(arraypop(explode("/",dirname($SERVER['PHP_SELF'])))); $i>=0; $i--) $path .= "../";

echo $path;

Thank you very much.

I was not able to get DOCUMENT_ROOT or any other server variables. All was returning empty.

I used this and it's working. I modified

$path = ""; for($i=count(explode("/",dirname($SERVER['PHPSELF']))); $i>1; $i--) $path .= "../"; echo $path;

this works from root folder itself and any level of subfolders

Thanks again
