http://blabla.info/somepath/somefile.php

echo $_SERVER["SCRIPT_FILENAME"];

results in [/var/www/htdocs/blabla.info/somepath/somefile.php]

You first get the document root of your site with

$_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'];

And then you append the relative path to your resource Ex:

$_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/relative/path/to/files/file.jpg';

If you're asking abut getting the local path of a document on a remote server that you don't have access to (other than HTTP), you can't.

If you're trying to get the path of a document on your server, you need an absolute or relative path to the root of the site and then you can derive the full path from there.
