Include Files in Different Directories

[hkothari]

So, let's say I have a site setup like this

 

/index.php

/file.php

/file3.php

/dir/

/dir/file2.php

 

Now, I know if I needed to include file.php from index.php I would use:

include("file.php")

and if I wanted to include file2.php I would use:

include("dir/file2.php");

but what if I wanted to use file2.php from index.php and file2.php needed file3.php would I use

include("file3.php");

or

include("../file3.php");

because the file that is actually being executed is index.php?

../file3.php
