 * I have a plugin that creates a link in a post. I’d like to add an icon to every
   link. The icon image file will live in the same directory as the plugin. How 
   would I reference this directory programatically for the purpose of writing the
   img src tag?
 * Thanks,
    Dave

 * OK. I’m an idiot. I can use dirname(__FILE__). I’ve been out of the php game 
   for the last few months and I have to re-learn things that used to be simple 
   to me.
