I want to create html page using php code form c:\www\test\script\new\creat_html.php to c:\www\test\html\index.html.

Now in c:\www\test\script\new\creat_html.php how do I set the path?

I use dirname(__FILE__), but it just gets the parent path. How to? Thanks.

file_put_contents( dirname(__FILE__) . '/index.html', $html);
php filepath

dirname(__FILE__) will return:
c:\www\test\script\new\
you need c:\www\test\html\index.html
so you need to up to 2 levels, you can do it with .. symbol in path:
c:\www\test\script\new\..\..\ = c:\www\test\
now you can add necessary part of path:
dirname(__FILE__).'../../html/index.html'
