PHP intelligent db select

[pushVTEC]

I have a development folder and production folder in my webspace to handles both the developement site and production site. I know there is a way to tell if the dbconnect.php script is being run from dev/includes or prod/includes and then based on that connect to either the database-dev or database-prod database, anyone know how I could do that?

Get the server file path and then check if the dev or prod folder is where it's being run from. Not sure of the functions to do this, but it shouldn't be too hard to get from the php online manual.

maybe start with looking at this function I suppose.
