I would like to know how to find the actual path of a file when
pointed by PHP or another language.

For example how do you find the real path for
http://www.ironclad.net/download/public/applications/file_info/download1.php?file=06311_331.jpg

Hint: The answer is http://www.ironclad.net/download/public/applications/06311_331.jpg

Is there some way to see in the header or anywhere where you browser
is being pointed to?

I already know the answer for this server.  How do you I find this for
a server I do not control?  The URLs are just an example.

Hello,

Just add this particular code in your PHP script, you can get the
exact absolute path of the drive and directory.

<?php
$p = getcwd();
echo $p;
?>

Thanks,
RamBee.
