Well, how most generally do it is via a define, in a config.
define("APPPATH", "/var/www/html/project");

Then in code that includes this file with this and other settings.
You call defined vals like so

include APPPATH ."/file.php";

Does that answer the question?
getcwd() is what I usually use to set this all programmatically.
