i have the files uploaded inside a folder called "freedesigns"
The freedesigns folder is a folder that i created...and inside the free designs folder i downloaded all the files of the script i there
i did this because i didnt want the script to be the index page of my site www.nnennalovette.com

Try one or more of the following things.

echo $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'];
echo DIR(__FILE__);
echo $_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'];

 

Don't try the above post without making a backup and reading a guide on how to apply a backup, please.

Your base path if you have standard shared hosting with cPanel will be

home/username/public_html/freedesigns

Code (markup):

where the username is what you use to login to your cPanel hosting account.

Your base URL is

http://www.nnennalovette.com/freedesigns

Code (markup):

Do what exodus says. They're just 'reads'. They don't affect files, security or anything.
That's how you get that information in PHP.

 

... and you got that bit of nonsensical BS where exactly? Careful, your ignorance is showing.

 

echo dirname(__FILE__)
or
echo basename(__FILE__);
etc.
$base_url="http://".$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'].dirname($_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"].'?').'/';
