<p>The Drupal API has <a href="http://api.drupal.org/api/function/drupal_get_path/6" rel="noreferrer"><code>drupal_get_path($type, $name)</code></a> which will give the path of any particular theme or module.  What if I want the path of the current theme?</p>

this should work (

):
```
```
global $theme;
$path = drupal_get_path('theme', $theme);

// there's also a $theme_path global

global $theme_path;
```
```
