Chris,
That's interesting.
I just created a file containing <?php phpinfo(); ?> in the root directory of my
IIS test machine. It shows $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] to be the path to the root
directory of my website - as expected.
Then I moved the file to a subdirectory (actually tried three different ones at
different levels). In each case phpinfo showed the document root to be the root
of the website.
This happens to be Windows 2000 instead of Windows 2003. PHP is loaded as an
isapi module (which does make a difference).
