Way to get absolute path of file PHP

__FILE__

That is the absolute path to the file being executed.

simple usage examples:

echo __FILE__;

echo "This file is: " . __FILE__;

You can try like this

include dirname(__FILE__).'/../yourfile.php';

Since PHP 5.3.0 you can use also the magic constant __DIR__ More info in the docs

Another way is

$rootDir = realpath($_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"]);

include "$rootDir/yourfile.php";
