function base_path

base_path()

Returns the base URL path (i.e., directory) of the Drupal installation.

base_path() adds a "/" to the beginning and end of the returned path if the path is not empty. At the very least, this will return "/".

Examples:

• http://example.com returns "/" because the path is empty.
• http://example.com/drupal/folder returns "/drupal/folder/".
