the real path: /~adomain/
DOCUMENT_ROOT: /home/adomain/
REQUEST_URI: /
SERVER_NAME: www.adomain.com

that's when i view the webpage by going to adomain.com.

when i view the webpage by going to anotherdomain.com/~adomain/, i get
the information that i want, but at that point, i already know it, so
such a lookup is pointless. i want to determine the real path when i'm
accessing the webpage from adomain.com.
