LAMP: Set Document Root for Specific Directory

Question

So I must upload the CMS that I've been creating in the development environment to my company's server to show the client. But the software I created was built in the document root, and the company wants me to upload it to a folder on the server. Is there any way to set the document root dynamically with PHP, or to include an .htaccess or some such thing in a single folder on a server?

I suppose I could also juse create some global var with

$DOCUMENT_ROOT = dirname(dirname(__FILE__)));

And reference that at the beginning of my paths, but I am looking for a more elegant solution.

You're going to need to define a baseUrl that is available throughout your application. If the client is getting antzy to see your work, tell them to register a subdomain to throw it on.
