Get image folder path based on relative path with Jquery or PHP

Question

There is an image inside HTML page. I use Jquery for 360 grad rotation. My Jquery plugin gets the list of all images via AJAX request. But the problem is, that I don't know where the user will locate scripts ang images.

For example images will be located at home/mypage/public_html/gallery/pictures/ and scripts at home/mypage/public_html/scripts/rotate/. I have an option for user to show the path to scripts and want the script to get images path automatic, based on first image path.

For example I have some image with relative path:

<img src='pictures/001.jpg'>

url is: mypage.com/gallery/pictures/001.jpg

How can I get a path to containing folder in form:

home/mypage/public_html/gallery/pictures/

It's no matter to do it with Jquery or PHP

a PHP script then loads all images from home/mypage/public_html/gallery/pictures/

Thx!

In the end it depends on whether you process your data on the server side (PHP) or on the client side (JavaScript), but you need to use the getcwd() PHP function:

http://il.php.net/manual/en/function.getcwd.php

So you can pass the relative image path to PHP through jQuery, and then append the current working directory (getcwd) to the beginning.
