another simple way, set an constant in your initialize.php

// Assign file paths to PHP constants
// __FILE__ returns the current path to this file
// dirname() returns the path to the parent directory
define("PRIVATE_PATH", dirname(__FILE__));
define("PROJECT_PATH", dirname(PRIVATE_PATH));
define("PUBLIC_PATH", PROJECT_PATH . '/public');

Yes, u need to define a constant. And its very straight forward. Here you go - 

define('UPLOADPATH','/work/images/');

where, UPLOADPATH is the name of a constant. (you can give a name of your choice) and, following that, is the path.

In my case it was in C drive under wamp, www folder. Hence i have only provided path inside www

If you use Zend_Tool to generate your project, it should automatically add code in your index.php that defines a constant called APPLICATION_PATH which is an absolute path to your application folder in a ZF project.

All files related to a project should stay under the same tree, you should put all your projects into subfolders of your document root and create virtual hosts.

C:/xampp/htdocs/
    myapp/
        application/
        data/
        library/
        public/
        tests/
    anotherapp/
        application/
        data/
        library/
        public/
        tests/

Define a constant in your index.php

define('BASE_PATH', realpath(dirname(__FILE__)));

You can use this constant like so everywhere in your application

$filename = BASE_PATH . '/pdf_profile/' . $pdfname . '.html";

I think ,in case of XAMPP (working locally) the $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] should return you "C:/xampp/htdocs/application/"
