Return the path to the current themed element.

It can point to the active theme or the module handling a themed implementation. For example, when invoked within the scope of a theming call it will depend on where the theming function is handled. If implemented from a module, it will point to the module. If implemented from the active theme, it will point to the active theme. When called outside the scope of a theming call, it will always point to the active theme.

To get the path to another module or theme, use drupal_get_path().

Example usage: <img

Example usage:

<img src="/<?php print path_to_theme(); ?>/img/whatever.png" />

path_to_theme() will return something similar to:

sites/yoursite.com/themes/yourtheme

You will need to include leading and trailing slashes in the case of the above example.
