Examples
Example 1
For the example below, the file "test.asp" is located in C:\Inetpub\Wwwroot\Script.
The file "test.asp" (located in C:\Inetpub\Wwwroot\Script) contains the following code:
<%
response.write(Server.MapPath("test.asp") & "<br />")
response.write(Server.MapPath("script/test.asp") & "<br />")
response.write(Server.MapPath("/script/test.asp") & "<br />")
response.write(Server.MapPath("\script") & "<br />")
response.write(Server.MapPath("/") & "<br />")
response.write(Server.MapPath("\") & "<br />")
%>
Output:
c:\inetpub\wwwroot\script\test.asp
c:\inetpub\wwwroot\script\script\test.asp
c:\inetpub\wwwroot\script\test.asp
c:\inetpub\wwwroot\script
c:\inetpub\wwwroot
c:\inetpub\wwwroot
response.write(Server.MapPath("test.asp") & "<br />")
response.write(Server.MapPath("script/test.asp") & "<br />")
response.write(Server.MapPath("/script/test.asp") & "<br />")
response.write(Server.MapPath("\script") & "<br />")
response.write(Server.MapPath("/") & "<br />")
response.write(Server.MapPath("\") & "<br />")
%>
Output:
c:\inetpub\wwwroot\script\test.asp
c:\inetpub\wwwroot\script\script\test.asp
c:\inetpub\wwwroot\script\test.asp
c:\inetpub\wwwroot\script
c:\inetpub\wwwroot
c:\inetpub\wwwroot
Example 2
How to use a relative path to return the relative physical path to the page that is being viewed in the browser:
<%
response.write(Server.MapPath("../"))
%>
or
<%
response.write(Server.MapPath("..\"))
%>
response.write(Server.MapPath("../"))
