do you know a function to get the path to a Drupal site's files directory?
path to files () ??
nope
All Agaric wanted was the Drupal function to give the path to files directory (which Drupal core itself should probably use instead of embedding the full filepath in the files database), and finding it was soooooo much harder to find than it should have been.
The Drupal function which we suppose we ought to use is file_create_url().
See http://api.drupal.org/api/function/file_create_url/5
Which will work even if the file system is made private

Here's the article I was trying to find:

Resolution
More like this
- Get the directory name from a file path string in PHP
- Fixing file paths after a change in location of a site's files directory
- Batch API process silently fails if function in file not in default Drupal bootstrap isn't explicitly included
- Functions needed to define a new CCK field; Field placement module thoughts
- Snips of TCS import function for Taxonomy XML for future reference
