Actually, I think I might have found a solution, although its not a very
good one.
include realpath(dirname(__FILE__) . "/" . "../include/global.php");
alot of people do something _like_:
define('GLOBAL_BASE_DIR', dirname(__FILE__));
somewhere near the beginning of their startup code...
so you can subsequently do:
require_once GLOBAL_BASE_DIR . '/include/xyz.php';
but maybe you should also look at the ini setting 'include_path'

I've been attempting to write an application with a bit more ordered
directory structure than I normally use, and I ran into the rather
annoying problem with include() where relative paths are only based
off of the current working directory, and not that of the included
script. This makes it impossible to include script correctly, because
the path from the working directory is different than that of the
included file.
The problem is I'm trying to include
/include/global.php
from
/elements/nav.php
but topnav is included by
/index.php
Which results in a failed top open stream error. Is there any way
around this annoying idiosyncrasy?
