Answer 1

You have to change your apache configuration. The problem is not the php script, the problem is the webserver (which is not able to serve files outside web root, unless you configure it to).

Try something like this in your apache configuration:

Alias /testalias "G:/test"

  Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews ExecCGI
  AllowOverride All
  Order allow,deny
  Allow from all

This tells Apache to serve files from G:/test when you access http://localhost/testalias

Then change your script configuration like that:

$WebServerPath = dirname("testalias");

and it should work!
