[eluser]coldscooter[/eluser]
Is there any way in codeignigter to get the full path of a file?

ie: /usr/local/var/development/www/...

FCPATH is the full path to index.php.
APPPATH is the full path to the application folder.
Other paths are defined at the bottom of index.php.

Assuming you have the filename and it's (relative) location, you can use realpath() to get the full pathname.
