Question

I have this which is probably a roundabout way of finding the path:

<?php require_once $parent_dir = dirname(dirname(dirname($_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME']))).'/myFile.php'; ?>

It works, but is there a cleaner way of writing it?

My site has a subdomain. Here’s where myFile.php is located:

http://sub.mydomain.com/dir/

Answer 1

Sometimes getcwd can be useful:

require_once getcwd() . '/../../myFile.php' ;
