CI Relative Paths

Yes! Thank you. That certainly works!

But does that mean that "." (current directory) down in

ci/applications/config/uploader_settings.php

is actually ci, the directory holding index.php?

Is what's happening:
1. we're coming into index.php first and then
2. everything gets loaded, effectively, into it, so by the time something runs it's actually part of index.php

Any further explanation, or pointers to where this might be documented, would be a big help.

Thanks,
Steve
