Im not exactly sure that this will work, as I havent done anything with wordpress in a while, but from what they have on the wordpress functions info at http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/bloginfo

<?php bloginfo('url');

would return http://example/home, so im assuming that you are just missing a backslash in you $path variable. It should look like

<?php $path = '/test/test_path/file.php';

As far as I understand it, your issue is that the path is automatically printed to the browser -- it isn't intended to act as a variable like you are trying to use it. If you take a look at the description of bloginfo() in the Wordpress function reference, it says this:

 

This always prints a result to the browser. If you need the values for use in PHP, use get_bloginfo().

http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/bloginfo

 

So I'd suggest you look at get_bloginfo() instead.

yes, that was the issue that i was having.

 

It was printing to the browser instead of returning the result and allowing me to store it in a variable.
