I'm working on a small CMS system, and (embarrassingly) the problem right now is:
How do I make it so I can access a file in the main script directory from a directory within the main script directory file.

In effect:
To access a file in a directory within the current directory, you just write something like

CODE

, and you don't have to write out anything before that, no matter where the file is. No C:/Program Files/whatever. How do you do that in reverse? From a subdirectory into a directory?

Can we have a link to the file?

I use this it works for me but make sure to put a slash in front:

CODE

Pretty sure if you put a ".../file.php" the path starts from the root.

Oh, ok, thanks. From the root of what, though? I need it from the root of the script, or something similar from which it can navigate without problems.

Root of the script, use '../file.php';

Every ../ raises the directory onelevel.

So ..../ would be two directories back and ....../ would be 3 directories back?

no, ../../ would be two and ../../../ would be 3.
