A simple reminder, but one most people (me included) will forget:
If you're writing portable code, don't blindly assume URLs and filesystem paths have a 1:1
mapping! There could be any number of things affecting them - the server might have mod_rewrite
rules, you could be in a chroot, PHP could even be running over FastCGI on a separate machine from
the webserver entirely.
Also don't rely on relative paths just because you think your own code hasn't called
chdir(); you can use dirname($_SERVER[SCRIPT_FILENAME]) to figure out where you should be.
