i need a way to get the path to the parent folder of the folder i am in. one "dirty" way i found is this -
require_once(dirname(__FILE__) . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR .
".." . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR .
"config.php");
i can also explode() and reassemble all folders except the last, but this looks also dirty...
is there a direct way?
There's nothing dirty about dirname(), and for your issue, just call it twice:
dirname(dirname(__FILE__));
