i need a way to get the path to the parent folder of the folder i am

require_once(dirname(__FILE__) . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR .
".." . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR .
"config.php");
i can also explode() and reassemble all folders except the last, but
this looks also dirty...
is there a direct way?
There's nothing dirty about dirname(), and for your issue, just call it
twice:
dirname(dirname(__FILE__));
I called "dirty" the ".." in my example.
Yes, dirname(dirname(__FILE__)); is the way to go - I was just too
brainwashed and did not think I can apply it to a directory, too.
Thanks,
