How many ../ from here to root?

[Terabyte]

Hey
spose I have a file located at www.site.com/1/2/3/4.php

in order to get to a file located at www.site.com/a/b/c/d.php from 4.php i would have to go
I would have to go ../../../a/b/c/d.php right?

the question is how do i calculate the number of "../" to place in front..

so if something is in the root directory there would be no ../ involved
but if it was in a.. there would be 1 ../ needed..

How do i work out how many hops back to root are required.

Hope thats clear. Thanks.

If you use just / it'll go back to the base directory. You only need to use /../ if you want to go back one or two directories.
