If like me you were trying to find the absolute path for your files when setting up your zen cart install, I found the following script to be super useful. Can be used anywhere, not just for zen cart!

Just make a blank php file in folder you want to get the path of and paste this:

<?php
$path = getcwd();
echo "This is the absolute path: ";
echo $path;
?>

Then just browse to the file and see the path. Quick ‘n easy!
