http://localhost/ or http://127.0.0.1

He means where the default document root is.
You don't have write access to it anyway, so that script won't work.

Make a PHP script with this code:

<?
echo $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'];
?>

it all depends on your operating system and webserver. apache and lighttpd have different webroots, as well as archlinux and debian.

try what vigge said, but depending on your configuration, it may or may not work properly
