What you probably need to do to go 'up' a directory is something like this:
$dir = dir($_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME']);
Then take off the last directory. Then either stay there or append another
directory name to it.
Try using strrchr(). Or there is probably a class somewhere to break a path
into all its parts.
