CGI path variable

Looking at the CGI variable page on Macromedia it says that it's listing "common" CGI environment variables. Is there a place where I can find a "complete" list?

If no, what I'm looking for is just a path variable, but I want only the path, not the script name too. PATH_TRANSLATED has what I need, but I'm not good enough at CF to know a clever way to get rid of the script name from the end.

Any help appreciated,
wdn2k

The actual CGI variables that are available depends on the web server in use. If you do a cfdump of the cgi scope you'll see all the variables available in your particular configuration.

Thanks. As it turns out there isn't a CGI variable available to suit my purpose so I put the path I need in the application.cfm so at least I only have to change it in one place.

For anyone interested, the code to dump all the CGI vars is very simple and very informative:

<!--- Dump all CGI vars --->
<cfdump var="#CGI#">

If you only want the path you can do #getDirectoryFromPath( getCurrentTemplatePath() )#? Is this what you needed?

Sure thing. I think you'll find CF very easy to embrace.
