getting the root directory

[aleksanteri]

Say I've got a library PHP file at a folder and I've got an index.php in a folder that is the subfolder of the folder with the library in it. Now I want to use include() to get the library file into the index.php file without being jumped to the main root folder. Is this possible and how do I do it?

Haven't used PHP in awhile, but this should pull the file from the parent directory:

include('../library.php');

And this should pull it from the root directory:

include('/library.php');
