   I have an uploader in my theme that had worked pretty good, however it has a hardcoded path I'd like to work on
   

   //If no errors registred, redirect back to the theme options panel
   	if(isset($_POST['Submit']) && !$errors)
   	{
   	$url = get_bloginfo('url') . '/empire/wp-admin/admin.php?page=functions.php';
   
   	header ("Location: $url");

   now obviously if I let anyone else use this theme, and they're not installed in /empire, it won't work

   I've been trying to figure this out and came across get_site_url

   Does it work for this? I see under scheme that admin is an option? Since I have no idea after reading the documentation, figured I'd ask!

   Does
   

   $url = get_bloginfo('url') . '/empire/wp-admin/admin.php?page=functions.php';

   Become something like:
   

   $url = get_site_url('', '', 'admin') . '?page=functions.php';

   or something like that?

   You could try get_home_url rather than get_site_url:

   doesn't that just get me to the home url of the site?

   Actually, you need a function to reliably get the admin URL, rather than the home URL and try to build a path to the admin. There is a new function in WordPress 3.0.0 get_admin_url which is basically a wrapper around get_site_url and it gives you a real easy way to grab the admin url.

   You can then use this in place of your currently hard coded value.

   Just try:

   echo get_admin_url();

   and see what it renders to the screen.

   me too! There is pretty much no reference to that that can be found easily on codex or google.... I exhausted my google-fu trying to find that exact function!

   Most new features (3.0 +) are not THAT well documented unfortunately, they take time to permeate through..

   Some have gotten a lot of coverage such as custom post types, multisite/network etc. but not all.
