note 75528 modified in function.include by danbrown

A very EASY way to get 'include' to find its way to another directory, other than setting the 'include path', and useful for fetching one or two files: <?php include ($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']."/foo/bar.php"); ?> This creates an include that is relative to the root rather than the current directory. The dot is for concatenation, not current directory, as with 'include path' syntax. See Appendix M of Manual > Reserved words > Predefined Variables, for more info on $SERVER. --was-- A very EASY way to get 'include' to find its way to another directory, other than setting the 'include path', and useful for fetching one or two files: include ($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']."/foo/bar.php"); This creates an include that is relative to the root rather than the current directory.
