I know how to include files like /folder/example.php & http://ap-gfx.com/folder/example.php but i want to access a folder that isnt a subfolder in the files directory i dont know how to put it plainer so if you understand please post.

there are 3 special elements in a path:

../

means "go up one level from the current directory"

./

means "in this directory". It bypass the global path

/

means "from the first level of the directory tree"

So, either you know how to access it from where you are, and you can use

PHP Code:

include("../../dir1/file.php"); 


Or you use the PHP server's variable as a starting point:

PHP Code:

include($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']."/dir1/file.php"); 


$_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] is the place where your website have it's root folder. You can access any files in your directory tree from there.
