[PLUG] PHP style question

[Brent Rieck]

If you're trying to make the choice between $_SERVER and $_SESSION I'd
choose $_SERVER, unless it's set on a per-session basis, then I'd use
$_SESSION.  Were it me though I'd define a constant with the application
root it it which to me 'feels' less cumbersome than interacting with
$_SERVER.
