I am using the existing menu function and a group based permission system. For creating the group_apps table it would be helpful to be able to access the project folder root and its subfolders.
Does anybody know how to do it.
Help would be very welcome
Hello Sawjer,
I have a function that I created in an External Library that may help. Take a look at it and see if it can give you what you need. This function uses the $_SERVER PHP variable to pull some of the data from the INI file.
public function fncRetrievePathorFileProperties($sOption)
{

break;

else

I learned quite a while back to use an External Library. I use an Autoloader to load the classes I need the contain the useful functions such as the one above. This one is a general use function to assist with requests such as yours. I hope you find it useful.
Thank you, I will try it out.
