Ok so I am trying to include_once a file that is like this

>db_connect.php
>>folder1
>>>folder2
>>>>page that is requesting the file

I don't know how to do this without using the full url, can someone help?

on windows:

PHP Code:

 require_once('..\..\db_connect.php'); 


on linux/unix:

PHP Code:

 require_once('../../db_connect.php'); 


Im still getting the same error saying "No such file"... and I don't know how to fix it.

post the full error message.
