file-type

I would like to set up a command to execute launch the php script i am editing.

:echo expand('%:p:h') yields: C:\xampp\htdocs\my

my localhost path is C:\xampp\htdocs

i would like to cut the contents of local host off my current directory and append a file separator so i would have:

g:var = \my\

so the end goal would be to have something like this in my .vimrc (need help with the concatenate)

map <F5> :w<CR>:silent execute '!"c:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe"' "localhost . $var . %"<CR>

is this possible? or is there another way to do this?
