So, file_get_contents('myDir/script/txtfiles') would start at wherever Apache or the shell interpreter had fired off your script[/i/, then drill down into myDir, then script then txtFiles.

How can you tell where the shell interpreter has fired off your script *THIS TIME* ?

For future reference, the path to root can be
determined by $_SERVER['SCRIPT_URL'] it will
end up being something like:

/onedirectoryoffroot/adirectorybelowthat/

so you ../ one less times than there are /'s in
the script_url ... and then you are at the root
directory, ready to crawl down the

 *SERVERS TREE* and into wherever you need..

example:


if the script_url is:

/2009-10-07/posts/

and you wanted to get somewhere else
the route would be:
       
../../wp-content/plugins/myplugindir/myfile.php

just so its up here for when i forget it a week from now.

If you are  unsure of where you might be running from
you can do this which is not only cool, but also looks like the
epson  mx 80 hold down form feed at power on demo mode:

Code:

if (file_exists("./wp-config.php")){include("./wp-config.php");}
elseif (file_exists("../wp-config.php")){include("../wp-config.php");}
elseif (file_exists("../../wp-config.php")){include("../../wp-config.php");}
elseif (file_exists("../../../wp-config.php")){include("../../../wp-config.php");}
elseif (file_exists("../../../../wp-config.php")){include("../../../../wp-config.php");}
elseif (file_exists("../../../../../wp-config.php")){include("../../../../../wp-config.php");}
elseif (file_exists("../../../../../../wp-config.php")){include("../../../../../../wp-config.php");}
elseif (file_exists("../../../../../../../wp-config.php")){include("../../../../../../../wp-config.php");}
elseif (file_exists("../../../../../../../../wp-config.php")){include("../../../../../../../../wp-config.php");}

Code:

while(!file_exist($i . "wp-config.php"))
{
$i = $i . "../";
if (file_exist($i . "wp-config.php"))
{
include($i . "wp-config.php");
}
}

This should work once there is only one file of that name.
