A Strange Problem

Hi gang: I have a very strange problem. I can use this statement in one folder: $fcontents = file('docs/admin-email.txt'); But in a different folder with an exact path having 'docs/admin-email.txt', I get: Warning: file(/docs/admin-email.txt) [function.file]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in <cut> on line 83 This has got me really puzzled. I have confirmed these are the exact same folders and files, except only in two different places on the server. Both are one level down from root. Any ideas as to what is going on?
