Here's a snippet of what's at the start of most of my php files:
$pagetitle = "Lily Articles";
$pagefname = __FILE__; // for later logging
$pagedocroot = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'];
require_once ("$pagedocroot/include_db/db_connect.php");
require_once ("$pagedocroot/include/funcs.php");
Hope that helps.
