include - php include_once not working

Question

What would be the reasons of a non working include_once?

Here's my folder hierarchy:

/Php/Controls/GridView/GridView.php
/Php/Controls/Form/Form.php

In "Form.php":

include_once '../GridView/GridView.php';

I'm getting this error:

Warning: include_once(../GridView/GridView.php) [function.include-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in ...Form.php on line 4

Warning: include_once() [function.include]: Failed opening '../GridView/GridView.php' for inclusion (include_path='.;C:phppear') in ...Form.php on line 4

Please tell me if you want more information.

Answer 1

In Form.php use

include_once dirname(__FILE__) . '/../GridView/GridView.php';

This creates an absolute path, but relative to the file, where its called from.
