Each php file on the mirror has e.e.
include_once $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/include/shared-manual.inc';

My DocumentRoot points to /var/www.

But the mirror is located in /home/rgevaert/WWW/php/

I can't find a way to override the $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] unless I
- change the apache config (unfortunately not an option)
- change each php page of the mirror, and that will break my rsync update.

I can understand that the PHP website is not build for my situation, :), 
but I would appreciate any help, of you know how I can change this.

TIA

Rudy
