    you can use ../ to go up a directory
    say for example, you have

    /root/folder1/script1.php
    and
    /root/folder2/script2.php

    you can call script2 from script1 using

    include('../folder2/script2');
    PHP:

    Some programs use the "absolute path" approach. For instance, here's an excerpt from the file wp-config.php, from WordPress 2.6.1:
    
<?php
	define('ABSPATH', dirname(__FILE__) .'/');
	require_once(ABSPATH . 'wp-settings.php');
?>
    PHP:
    The advantage of this method is that you don't have to know how many folders to go up, but what's the absolute path to your file. It's way much easier.
