My site has configured multilanguage, i develop now a small component and need physical path of my component, and if i use JPATH_COMPONENT_ADMINISTRATOR then i get still

http://example.com.com/LANGUAGE_STRING/administrator/components/com_mycomponent...

How can I get really physical path? I tested also most of this constants, but no one works correctly, i need it exactly for external css file:

$doc = JFactory::getDocument();
$doc->addStyleSheet(JPATH_COMPONENT_ADMINISTRATOR . '/assets/css/component_style.css');

For an external CSS file, why not simply use the domain name? Using absolute paths for importing assets is not a good idea –  Lodder 15 hours ago

To load CSS and Javascript files, you want to use JUri::base() instead of JPATH_COMPONENT_ADMINISTRATOR.

Also have a look at a more advanced loading mechanism, JHtml.

Adding JavaScript and CSS to the page
