Maybe: /home/virtual/site_something/var/www/html... really don´t know!

Try this:

<?php
  echo $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'];
?>

Better yet: Create a php file with the name you want (e.g.: phpinfo.php) and put this next code in it:

<?php
  phpinfo();
?>

That´s it! upload and accesss it and you´ll have all the information you need!
