Is there a way to include a file relative to another file...

This one is hard to explain, so I'll use an example.

 

I have include files:

 

smptemail.php

actions/emailfunctions.php

 

And emailfunctions includes smptemail.php as ../smptemail.php. And this works, UNLESS emailfunctions.php if referenced from a directory other than the root one.

 

I can think of four solutions.

 

- Use symbolic links

- Copy the text of smptemail into emailfunctions

- Hard code paths

- include based on file_exists.

 

I'm going to probably go with four, but is there a better way to handle this? Like an include that looks for includes relative to the including file, not the main file?
