$DOCUMENT_ROOT and mod_userdir

[Frederik Himpe]

When you publish a website in /home/username/public_html and make it
availabe with the mod_userdir apache module, it can be accessed via
http://server/~username/. In that case though, the $DOCUMENT_ROOT
variable is still e.g. /var/www/html. Is there another variable or a trick
to get /home/username/public_html instead?

Maybe playing around with $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] and basedir().

Apache transmits DOCUMENT_ROOT as environmental variable (sp?) to PHP, so
maybe you can override it using SetEnv?
